Howdy Manco!!

Andy Clyde's career goes so far back, no on can remember it all. He played California Carlson, the sidekick to Hopalong Cassidy and another sidekick named Winks to Whip Wilson. He was also the neighbor ( George McMichael) to Walter Brennan on The Real McCoys. I've seen him in a couple of Gunsmoke episodes. The one I remember best, is when he and his grandson are taking a bull back to Texas.

Ed Begley is the father of actor Ed Begley .jr. He won his best supporting actor oscar for Sweet Bird Of Youth. He is probably best remembered for the original 12 Angry Men with Henry Fonda and Hang'um High with Clint Eastwood and as the preacher in Firecreek with Jimmy Stewart and Henry Fonda.

Dan White was a western supporting actor in two of the most famous westerns of all time. He mostly played villains, because of his tough expression and emotionless eyes. He appeared in The Yearling, Red River, Duel In The Sun, Giant, To Kill A Mockingbird, Touch Of Evil and even appeared with Elvis in Jailhouse Rock.
