    Great site RAy, obviously a labor of love for the creator ;-)) However much of a great job he has done, he got something wrong or either was left out by accident?

    Bob "Tumbleweed" Baker was better known as: "Buffalo" Bob Baker.

    More trivia of sorts.

    James Arness is a Brother to Peter Graves.

    Harry Carey Jrs nicknames are: (by his own accounts from his book as well as his website) "Dobie" and "Brick". Both were because of his red hair.

    Do you think without looking it up, name the one John Wayne movie that oot Gibson appeared in? Ill make it easier on you, it was one of the movies Duke made where he was in the Yankee Cavalry. :-D

    About 14 years ago, I started collecting the names of EVERY person who ever made at least 3-4 or more appearances in Movie and TV Westerns. I gave it up after I discovered: The Old Corral. ;-)) I had hundreds of pages of materials. I also went a bit farther and listed the name of every movie each had been in, as well as the name of any appearances in ant TV Western including the episodes titles.

    Hi Michelle, I know I have the Dad and Son and im most likely sure I have Wallace.

    Heres an unusual one thats not very well-known for Movie Appearances--Bob Wills-from: Bob Wills and the Texas Playboys. He and they appeared and sang in several Charles Starrette westerns which also had Dub Taylor as his sorts-sidekick called: Cannonball. About 3 years ago, Texas celebrated Bob Wills's 100th Birthday by having a Bob Wills 100th Birtday celebrations lottery card. I even bought one and stupidly mis-laid it and when I went to go buy another-they were all sold-no matter where I went.
