no just kept it straight,
I assumed that he was injured in the Civil War.
Dennis Weaver simply did it - he refused to wear any kind of device on the leg in fear that if he were to fall from a horse or something the leg could be injured if he couldn't bend it. He had an amazing concentration to walk like that the whole time he was on camera. He did say once that it took a while after he left Gunsmoke to not automatically limp whenever the director said "action".
no .
His right leg was the stiff leg
According to Dennis Weaver, the late actor who played the role of Chester Goode, the producers of the show wanted him to develop a disability to explain why Chester never carried a gun and had a nonviolent attitude. Weaver showed up to the first day of shooting and demonstrated the now famous limp, without any explanation as to why or how Chester got it. The producers loved it and from the beginning of the series, Chester limped, though on occasion Weaver would forget and limp with the wrong leg.
No. He used this as a way to stand out. Matt Dillon, at 6'6" tall tended to overshadow his fellow actors unless they exhibited something special to grab the attention of the audience.
Chester Goode, Matt Dillion's friend and deputy for the first nine years (1955-64) of the TV version of Gunsmoke was given the limp and "twangy" accent by the actor Dennis Weaver. In the radio version, he was Chester Wesley Proudfoot and he had no limp. The right leg was the stiff one, and Dennis Weaver did not wear a brace to make him remember how to walk. In an interview Weaver stated that he took yoga classes to be able to move that way. No reason was ever stated in the script for the bum leg, but Chester had been in the cavalry and had been a cattle driver in Texas.

Yes it is very good.
well if you hurt you leg or foot yeah well if you hurt you leg or foot yeah well if you hurt you leg or foot yeah
It depends on the type of injury you have or why the leg needs to be amputated. If there is paralysis, the leg may not hurt at all. If the nerves in the leg have been damaged, it may not hurt. If the leg has an infection, then yes, it will hurt, Pain medication may be given to help with the pain.
