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.
