Yeah, and looking up his credits on IMDb.com I've found that he was a gas station attendant in MIGHTY JOE YOUNG. I'll have to look at my Blu-ray of that to see. And I'd forgotten that he was "Harry" in LONELY ARE THE BRAVE, the judge in HOUR OF THE GUN, and the dentist/doctor or whatever who takes care of Dutchy in WILL PENNY. That episode of "Gunsmoke" I saw him on the other day was the "Gypsum Hills Feud" from December 27, 1958.

He had quite a career.

He used that makeup for one of his appearances on The Wild Wild West as a rascally moneybags - also he got play one on our hero's substitute partners (and a villain!).
