OK, seeing as how this thing got somewhat resurrected, here we go. CATEGORY : MOVIES Before he became famous as Matt Dillon in Gunsmoke, James Arness was in a fairly famous SCIFI movie that was eventually remade. What was the name of the movie and what part did he play ?

BONUS: James Arness has a brother who starred in his own series, who is he, and what was the name of the series ?

Hey coastie!!



Not fair , you are asking two questions.I'll try the first one:

# The Thing from Another World (1951) Played by James Arness ... aka The Thing (USA: short title)

# Watch the Skies!: Science Fiction, the 1950s and Us (2005) (TV) Played by James Arness ... aka Watch the Skies! (USA: short title)

Was he not a pilot in the airforce but, i'm not sure.

If I remember correctly he played quite a bit in war movies.

The series he was in I don't know.

So you'll have to tell me and post another question.

Hey Flashorn, It was the " The Thing" and he played the thing. That is what I had in mind. As for his brother, right again. Peter Graves played JIm Phelps in the old Mission Impossible series. coastie
