Leo Gordon was playing another bad guy on Bonanza this morning. You'll remember Leo as Luke Comstock in "High Noon in Mayberry." He limped because Andy had shot him in the leg during a robbery. I've also seen Pete Malloy shoot Leo, in the leg again, on Adam-12. This morning, Joe Cartright shot poor ol' Leo again, but not in the leg.
Leo was known as one of the most fearsome of the character actors, playing a heavy in most of his roles (I wonder how many times he got shot on camera). But his fearsomeness was well deserved - he served time in San Quentin for armed robbery. Leo had an extraordinarily long and busy career that included a significant number of TV and movie screenplays. Check him out on imdb.com, he must have been an interesting man. dan _______________________________________________ WBMUTBB mailing list [email protected] http://www.mayberry.com/tagsrwc/wbmutbb/
