Sam Shueh I guessed "Gunsmoke" before I clicked on your question. Festus (Ken Curtis) replaced Chester (Dennis Weaver) in the series.

You thought Festus talked funny?
Reminds me of my in-laws who were both from Savannah with thick southern accents. When Jimmy Carter (a Georgia peanut-farmer) was elected president my father-in-law said to me, in his slowest southern drawl "We don't have an accent any-mowah. You do!".

The man in the photo is sidekick Festus (actor Ken Curtis). He was replaced by Chester (Dennis Weaver).
Another regular in this series was Burt Reynolds as "Quint".

That was a great show. They don't make them like that anymore. Just a simple story of good guys versus bad guys, with a little bloodless violence thrown in, and always a happy ending. sigh

Character is Festus* (sp)?
Actor: Ken Curtis (birth name: Curtis Wain Gates)
I remember reading somewhere that in his youth he was actually a track star in his youth!

Oh yes, I remember. This is the first show that I watched on TV when I came to the US. It helped me learn English since they spoke slowly and were easy to understand.
