James Arness is an
actor best known for portraying Marshal Matt Dillon on Gunsmoke for 20 years, a record length for prime time shows that is shared with Kelsey Grammer’s portrayal of Dr. Frasier
Crane. Arness is the brother of Peter Graves.
Though primarily identified with Westerns, he also is remembered for
appearing in two science fiction films, The Thing from Another World and Them!
James Arness served in the United States Army during
World War II and was severely wounded at the Battle of Anzio. He was a close personal friend of John Wayne's and co-starred in a film with him called Big Jim McClain. In fact, Wayne recommended
Arness for the role of Matt Dillon.
Since Gunsmoke ended, Arness has continued to perform primarily in western-themed movies and television series,
including How the West Was Won, and five made-for-television Gunsmoke reunion movies
between 1987 and 1994.
A notable exception was a brief turn as a big city policeman in the short-lived 1981 series, McClain's Law.
For his contribution to the television industry, James Arness has a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame at 1751 Vine Street. In 1981, he was inducted into the Western Performers Hall of Fame at the
National Cowboy
& Western Heritage Museum in Oklahoma City,
Oklahoma.
