I worked F Troop as an extra quite a few times as an extra in background work.Wow! I forgot about that show.
Ya think American Indians are pissed about the Washington Redskins name/Cleveland Indians logo?
Me thinks that show wouldn't fly today.
BTW, I thought it was pretty funny.
Forrest Tucker was a big guy & Larry Storch was a pretty down to earth. Worked Gun Smoke as well and James Arness was the same tall / big like Forrest Tucker.
So would you be pissed off with a Hawaiian playing an Indian?
Actually, there were a few Hawaiian’s that worked F Troop & Gunsmoke on a regular bases playing Mexican’s or Indian’s.
