On March 28th, 2008 James Arness was interviewed on radio. The conversation covered a variety of subjects from WW2, Gunsmoke, to his individual life. I have included links to the sites discussed in this interview and I encourage you to check them out. I dedicate these videos to everyone that has to deal with Cerebral Palsy. It is truly a touching interview!

love love this handsome picture of him!!!!!!
RIP Marschall Dillon.
You are the best!! Rest in peace!!
Rest in peace to Mr. Arness and peace and blessings go out to his wife Janet and his family, Gunsmoke has allways been my number one favorite show and I love the character Matt Dillon but always the actor, James ARness. There will never be another show anywhere that cam come close to Gunsmoke. This was a family show and the Gunsmoke Family was just that. Mr. Arness will be missed greatly. My life is a little sadder with his passing, but his memory will allways live on and his light shine on.
RIP James Arness.

James Arness breathed life into Matt Dillon. The names will forever be synonomous with Western law and justice. My favorite Gunsmoke episode was when Morgan Woodard guest starred as a bitter, old Marshal that actually had Dillon for a Deputy. Joan Van Ark played Woodard’s daughter in the episode and at the end, Woodard finally recognized Dillon as “marshal” after they killed some outlaws that were trying to frame him (Woodard). The name of the episode? “Stryker.”
Rest in peace to the greatest marshall the world has ever known.James Arness.
Sad to hear about the passing of this unique actor. There hasn’t been a TV show like gunsmoke since; and the Matt Dillon character was the main reason why. Prayers go out to his family
Good Night Zeb.
My childhood hero no1
Rest in Peace, James Arness, you will not be forgotten
Gunsmoke is a classic that gets better with time.
They sure don’t make shows like that anymore.
James Arness is a wonderful man who made so many memories for a lot of people.
He is a hero in many ways.
Thank you for sharing this with us.

Stupid
Arness still sounds as sharp as a tack at 85 here. God bless you, James. Gunsmoke and Marshal Dillon forever!
so someone from Sweden thinks america’s founding was despicable? You have a problem with the declaration of independence or our Constitution which seems to be used by many other countries when they draw up their own constitution?
My parents used to watch Gunsmoke when it was on Saturday night at 10:00 – just after my bedtime. I would try to stay up, in my bed, for an hour, long enough to hear the theme song. That was my lullaby on Saturday nights when I was a boy.
Grew up watching Gunsmoke every Monday night, that theme song brings back memories………
Like the opening theme arrangement.
james arness is amazing. how the west was won, the tv series, is so much better than gunsmoke. the only western which accurately portrays the dispicable way the u.s. was founded.
Great interview. James Arness is a great actor. My 9 year old loves Gunsmoke.
