When was Chester on Gunsmoke?
The same actor that stared in Urban Cowboy. I'm a bit rusty on the name but I'm in danger of remembering. Will update with answer when it comes to mind. If memory serves, that would be Dennis Weaver. Dennis Weaver did play Chester on Gunsmoke. He also played Marshall Sam McCloud in the eponymous series, McCloud. John Travolta was the Urban Cowboy. Parley Baer played Chester in the original radio series, starting in 1952. You may remember him as Mayor Roy Stoner on the Andy Griffith Show. Baer ad-libbed Chester's full name as Chester Wesley Proudfoot. Baer was quoted as saying Chester was his most enjoyable role in his long career. Baer passed away in 2002 at the age of 88.
