Great insightful interview and it's got NOTHING to do with music!  I recently upgraded the original Wolfman from VHS to DVD.  I think A&C Meet Frank will be next!

I think Glen Strange plays Frank in A&C Meet Frank. Strange played Bert Cavanaugh, head of the outlaw gang that ambushed a group of Texas Rangers but one was still alive and slowly nursed back to better health by an Indian named Tonto who just happened to pass by some hours after the brutal ambush,  in the first episodes of the TV show The Lone Ranger in 1949. But Strange, who was very tall, is probably best known for playing Sam the bartender at Miss Kitty's Longbranch Saloon on Gunsmoke.

Gosh there’s a meeting of the minds - A&C Meet Big Frank - sure had an impact on Jerry - great clip - miss you bro

Glenn Strange was also the stagecoach driver in the Rifleman

I just realized something:  The narrator said this interview was filmed in February 1995 which was only six months before Jerry died.  Considering how sick he was when he passed, it seems really amazing to me that he sounds so healthy and happy in this video.
