Seeing Double

In an era where every young boy dreamt of donning a cowboy hat and boots, finding adult male actors to step into TV Western roles proved to be a formidable task. Paul Fix, a versatile actor with a penchant for smaller but impactful roles in The Rifleman, took on the mantle of Marshal Micah Torrance.

Interestingly, Fix also showcased his acting prowess by portraying a doctor in the episode ‘The Sharpshooter,’ a role entirely unrelated to his initial character. This testament to his range as an actor adds an intriguing layer to his contribution to the show.
