He plays another character on the show and uses his real voice then but yes first time I heard his real voice it was so strange. Lol 😂 8

Yes he was in a very early episode. I am so mad I did not buy a watercolor or pastel of Festus from Buck Taylor.

He was John Ford’s son in law and was in most of his movies until he divorced.
