James Arness experienced serious foot and lower leg damage from machine gun fire in World War Two and earned a Bronze Star and Purple Heart. The injury gave the towering six-foot seven-inch actor an unmistakable walk and limited his work schedule to performing early in the day.

Ken Curtis who portrayed Festus, Matt Dillion’s side-kick deputy, was a successful singer in the 1940s before embarking on an acting career. Ken Curtis was the singer who replaced Frank Sinatra as lead singer in Tommy Dorsey’s band when Sinatra began his solo career.
