Notes And A Coincidence Involving The Excellent Actor, George Kennedy

In watching a pretty good movie of the ‘Western” genre, “Good Guys And Bad Guys,” I noted a coincidence involving one of the two co stars, George Kennedy. Robert Mitchum was the other.

Kennedy plays “Jim McKay,” not to be confused with Jim McManus aka Jim McKay, the late sportscaster.

Years later on the iconic television show, “Dallas” Kennedy, the 1967 Best Supporting actor winner for his role in “Cool Hand Luke,” starring Paul Newman, played another formidable character named McKay.

On Dallas, he was Carter McKay.
