Television work made up a big chunk of his professional life. Aside from The Rifleman, he also appeared in The Adventures of Superman, Crossroads, Hey, Jeannie!, The Loretta Young Show, and Tales of Well Fargo. We are barely scratching the surface here. Oh, he was also in Here’s Lucy in the past!

Just like other shows, The Rifleman had a number of famous guest stars to improve ratings. Many of these celebrities were pro athletes like Don Drysdale and Duke Snider. The show had five seasons, so it makes sense that 500 guest appearances were made by the likes of Warren Oates, Sammy Davis Jr., Buddy Hackett, Robert Vaughn, and Richard Anderson.
