Glenn Strange's departure from Gunsmoke.
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Veteran character actor Glenn Strange made a big mark on the popular Western series Gunsmoke, and his sudden departure left a hole that was never truly filled. Starting its unprecedented TV run back in 1955, Gunsmoke follows Marshall Matt Dillon as he tries to maintain law and order in the Wild West town of Dodge City, Kansas.
Besides being one of the longest-running TV shows of all time, Gunsmoke is also one of the most beloved because of its gripping stories and generation-spanning appeal. Glenn Strange joined the show a few years in and would take over the bartender character Sam Noonan until 1973.
Glenn Strange Left Gunsmoke Because Of His Declining Health After over 200 episodes of the show, Glenn Strange stepped away from Gunsmoke in 1972 because of his lung cancer diagnosis. The sizable character actor was most remembered for playing villainous roles, but his turn as Sam Noonan was a pleasant change of pace for the somewhat typecast performer.
Throughout 1945's House of Dracula and 1948's Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein, Strange would leave his own unique mark on the role including his signature mole and low eyebrows. Ironically, though Strange was perhaps the least famous of the actors to play the part in the original Universal Monsters cycle, it was his likeness that appeared on most Universal Monsters merchandising for decades.
