Frank Sutton’s Excellent Work Remembered
I really enjoyed actor Frank Sutton’s performance, as a man happy in his own place in life, on the legendary television show, “Gunsmoke.”
The episode aired this week on MeTV, which is a television channel that I thoroughly enjoy.
Sutton is best known for his role as “Sergeant Carter,” on the television show, “Gomer Pyle,” which starred Jim Nabors.
In 1955, Ernest Borgnine played against type and was brilliant in the Paddy Chayefsky written, “Marty.” Mr. Borgnine won the best actor Academy Award.
Frank Sutton was among a great supporting cast in the film, playing one of Borgnine/”Marty’s” pals.

I just watched Frank Sutton play a character, Jack Davis, on Death Valley Days. I thought I would lose my mind trying to figure out who he was. I didn’t cheat by looking it up. I just kept watching until Sgt. Carter suddenly popped into my head!
Hi Gwen I know the feeling of trying to recall the performer’s name in such situations. Good for you, having persevered. Mr. Sutton was a fine actor.
