Secrets Of TV’s The Rifleman: More Than Just Guns And Good Times

Beware The Candyman

Famous Rat Packer and entertainer extraordinaire Sammy Davis Jr. guest starred in two episode of The Rifleman, “Two Ounces of Tin” and “The Most Amazing Man.” He played Tip Corey, a mean and nasty sharpshooter, and a cowboy named Wade Randall. Viewers were impressed with Davis’s shooting and gun spinning talents.

With a lineup of such fascinating guest characters, it’s hard to understand why the show eventually went off the air.
