This Saturday on American Movie Classics (AMC), a special encore episode of "The Rifleman" starring Chuck Connors. For fans of the Charlie Chan films, here is Lon Chaney Jr. (Universal Studio Horror Actor) in a "bad-guy" role set in the wild, wild west.

Re: The Rifleman: Lon Chaney Jr.

Thank you, Steve! You are GREAT at finding all of the appearances of Chan actors and actresses who appear in other productions, etc.! I chanced upon one on Saturday night: J. Carrol Naish, who was Gangor the Snake Charmer in our Chat film for this week, "Charlie Chan at the Circus," as well as the TV Charlie Chan in "The New Adventures of Charlie Chan," was in "Jungle Woman" which was aired on MeTV.

Thank you, again, sir!

Sincerely,
Rush
