Considered the ultimate showbiz cowboy hero, a long-standing rumor purports that John Wayne was initially offered the role of Marshal Matt Dillon on the Gunsmoke TV series. At the time, Wayne had a much noted dislike of television, so its unlikely that he was actually offered the role. The Duke, however, did recommend his friend James Arness for the role, that seemed to work out, as the show ran for twenty years. Wayne was on hand to introduce the show to the nation when it debuted on September 10, 1955. Dont forget to tune in to Gunsmoke, Monday through Saturday at 2 pm/1 c on MeTV! #MeTV #Gunsmoke #JamesArness #JohnWayne #MemorableEntertainmentTelevision
