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.
Dennis Weaver (Chester from Gunsmoke)
The actor was Dennis Weaver who died in 2006 from cancer. Weaver also played the deputy Chester in the old original Gunsmoke series.
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.
Chesters' limp was acting
They didn't - one day he just wasn't there anymore. They did the same thing with all the characters who left.
