If anyone has interest in his acting career, I have one of his earliest
TV appearances (9/54) in the debut episode of a Desilu sitcom
called WILLY on which he portrayed the dog catcher.

He was also briefly in "Alfred Hitchcock Presents", episode #7, "Breakdown", along with Raymond Bailey (Mr. Drysdale from "The Beverly Hillbillies") and Joseph Cotton.

He is the star of this episode of Gunsmoke where he plays a man who was part of the Union army during the Civil War and some cowboys almost hang him in it. Very exciting episode.

I know he was a gas station attendant on an episode of Lucy too. I know it was on there way to CA but I can't remember which one

The Gunsmoke episode is The Guitar from the first season (July, 1956).
