When "Gunsmoke" premiered at CBS In 1955, the television series already had a fan of his success as a radio show. However, this has presented a bit of a problem as the radio team will not be transmitted to live iteration. The biggest challenge? Selling viewers on the version of American Marshal Matt Dillon, who did not possess the unmistakable, sonic voice of William Conrad.

Ams Ares was not a NEophyte when he stepped in front of the camera to play Dillon. He appeared in numerous western big screen and played the monster in the title of "The Thing of Antual World" by Christian Nibi (which will later be Fixed by Johnon Carpenter as "something"). At 6'7, "he was a command figure, though not very hot or charismatic. CBS thought Ares could get used to, and wasn't patient enough to wait for him to grow to viewers.

How do you sell an actor who is not sold right away? If you can't include him in a varied show or introduce his image through an existing series, you are pretty well supported in a corner. So, the network threw a city of Maria and hit her friend and former co-Starvist, Johnon Wayne. Stunning, the Austrian television Wayne was happy to make his palid solid.

When television viewers turned to CBS for the first episode of "Gunsmoke", they were not treated on her regular opening song. No they found themselves staring at the biggest movie starvet In Hollywood, who was recruited to strive for the quality of the new western series on the network. "Good evening," he said. "My name is Wayne. Some of you may have seen me before. I hope so."

Wayne continued (unnecessarily) to remind viewers that he made his name in the west and visited their living rooms to spread the Gunsmoke Gospel. "No, I'm not that," he gave up. Then he climbed with Shilling:

"I wish I was though" because it is the best kind of its work that has appeared. To get used to me.

Somewhere in Hollywood, Ares and the Gunsmoke cast watched this introduction with jaws planted firmly on the floor. It was assumed that Ares was called in favor of the Duke, but that was not the case at all. Ares had no idea what was coming and could not have been more dispersed. "It was absolutely wonderful," he said once in an interview with the American television archive.

How good was Wayne's word? CBS eventually kept "Gunsmoke" on the air for 20 yearsHelping to launch people's careers such as Burth Reynolds and Dennis Waver. It was never the most conscious show, but for viewers who wanted Western meat and competitors, it satisfied it over and over. Ares played Matt Dillon for 635 episodes, and, aside from acting in a failed "McClane Law Law" shelf in the early 1980s, adhered to the West until the end of his career.
