Howdy, pardners. Seems that Olan Soule feller got around Hollywood pretty good in the 60's. Folks saw him on Dennis The Menace, The Andy Griffith Show, Dragnet, and even in a 2-part Batman before he was cast in the first animated series for the Caped Crusader. Back in '61 he got to work with no less a Hollywood legend than Henry Fonda in an episode of The Deputy.
Ok, let me get out of character. Olan plays a traveling dentist who gets shanghaied in his own hotel room by a couple of outlaws, one of whom wants to spring his wacky bro out of the slammer before a hanging.
Co-creators Roland Kibbee and Norman Lear went on to bigger things (i.e. It Takes a Thief, All In The Family, etc.), albeit separately, after The Deputy was sent off to boot hill.
