I loved Walter Brennan when I was a kid. My favorite movie was The Gnome Mobile. Now I can see him on reruns of The Real McCoys

My mother loved him in that commercial......"You're not getting older......you're getting better."

Watch any of ABC's made-for-TV movies of the early 1970s and you will find more lesser-known actors than you can shake a stick at!

Yes. We can do all of that and more, but that really defeats the purpose of this thread.

Please post links, and then add whatever commentary you'd like on the subject(s) of your post. Thanks!

Jack Pennick


If you have ever seen a John Ford film, you have probably seen Jack. After the First World War, Pennick worked as a horse wrangler and got work as such in various film productions. His rather unforgettably unattractive face caught the attention of filmmakers, particularly Ford, and Pennick began to work as an actor, as well as occasionally as a military technical adviser.
