Gailard Sartain was not cast as C.D. Parker in "Walker, Texas Ranger" primarily due to the show's creators choosing another actor, Noble Willingham, for the role. Willingham's portrayal brought a unique chemistry with Chuck Norris, which contributed to the show's dynamic. Additionally, casting decisions often involve various factors, including the actor's availability, previous roles, and the specific vision of the producers.

Well, isn't that just a happy little question! The initials "CD" in CD Parker's name stand for Cordell Walker's partner and close friend, Clarence "Clarence" Parker. It's always nice to see characters supporting each other in a show, just like how we support each other in our own little worlds.
