9 for 12.
8/12 Oh, well. Besides James Arness, Fess Parker was also in Them. Read a story years ago that Walt Disney was watching Them to see if Arness would be a good choice to play Davy Crockett. When Fess Parker came on the screen (so the story goes) Walt said "That's Davy Crockett!"
Disney was going to offer the role to Arness, but Arness was getting ready to sign with CBS to do Gunsmoke. Disney remembered Parker, went back to see the film a second time, and hired him.
