As a fan of Gunsmoke, I have seen him play some MEAN characters! I was very surprised at how many episodes of LHOTP that Victor French Directed.
ALSO...... He played one of Fonda's Brothers on "Spencer's Mountain".
Something that made me like him even more........I read on "IMDB" I believe.... Just before he passed away in 1989, he had it arranged for an airplane to circle his funeral, pulling a sign that read...... "EAT SH**! Love Victor." LOLOL I LOVE that sort of humor!
