Gunsmoke S5 E 27 Big Man 03-25-1961 - opening scene  

The great George Kennedy. One of my favorite character actors who never disappointed. He appeared in several Gunsmoke episodes... seven in fact.

I met Mr George out at the pool at a hotel outside San Diego. We were the only 2 there & he sat with me and visited for about 30 minutes. This was in the late 80's. It was quite an experience for me. Very friendly guy...

His role in Cool hand Luke is unforgettable.

Two big guys but the marshal can turn into the Thing

Don’t have TV shows like that anymore

Even in real life the guys who say you don't scare me always do it leaving

I like the earlier Gun smoke shows better than the later episode

That’s the guy on twilight zone with a third eye

Might be a prick in a bar but no better man to get a stuck 707 out of a snowdrift! LOL!

I met George Kennedy in Buenos Aires, on November, 1979. I was at high school and I went specially to talk with him, which I did. He was happy to talk with someone about his old movies. He was a huge wardrobe in front of me and I cannot believe that James Arness was taller than him. He seems to be short when the camera tokk them from profile. jcf.

the bartender was in the twilight zone episode ''will the real martian please stand up'', he was in theCOLUMBO episode ''suitable for framing''. and most likely a lot of other things.

Love George Kennedy! Always good!

Did George Kennedy ever have hair?

Season 6

So, what happens next. Does he leave Dodge alive?

All these people are too crean, shaven, women look like if they are going to the waldor astoria etc even the bartender!

A few years before old George was dodging missiles in a Concorde….😆
