* Creator/JackElam had one of those faces that made it guaranteed he'd end up playing a lot of villains, and he did just that for most of his early career. But in 1969, he was cast as the BumblingSidekick in ''Film/SupportYourLocalSheriff''. His comedic timing and his ability to [[FacialDialogue deliver entire pages of dialogue with nothing more than his facial expressions]] meant that he was almost never cast as a villain ever again -- unless it was a bumbling incompetent villain in a comedy. According to his good friend [[Series/{{Gunsmoke}} James Arness]], at first Elam hated only being offered comedies, but soon realized he was becoming more famous as a comedian than he ever had been as a heavy, and started intentionally seeking out comedic roles.
