And of course if you watched the whole A&C marathon you would have seen
Glenn Strange in his most famous role. To be fair, I think he was only
in one serial, and far from a star in that one. But an incredibly long
list of western credits.

Can't cite titles, but I have often run across Roy Barcroft playing bit
parts in very old westerns.

They certainly hung around the same studio a long time.

I was terribly confused when he showed up as a nice guy on Spin and
Marty.

I haven't had the pleasure.

Saw Guinn 'Big Boy' Williams and Charles Middleton in the excellent Station
West (1949) on Sunday afternoon TV.

George Reeves!

Did you know George once played an English knight in a Columbia movie
serial?

Well, he did! :-)
