Big Break
Amidst the vibrant narrative of The Rifleman, Lucas McCain found an invaluable ally in the form of a plainsman, brought to life by the talented Michael Ansara. Although Ansara’s character graced just two episodes of the show, his performance left an indelible mark.

Little did he know that this brief stint would serve as a stepping stone to his own starring role. In 1959, Ansara took center stage in Law of the Plainsman, a testament to his burgeoning talent and the captivating presence he brought to the screen.
