He also played the sheriff in Black Bart, the pilot for the spin off series of blazing saddles. It didn't make it very far ....

One of the best portrayals of a Marine in an instructor capacity in the history of film.

Rest in power, brother.

Was thinking that but wasn’t completely sure, thank you for reinforcing my thought process.
