An episode of the 1950s western TV series 'Trackdown' featured a character named Walter Trump

Reposting, because I can't kick it to the top.

Trackdown Shakedown

An episode of the 1950s western TV series 'Trackdown' featured a snake oil salesman named 'Trump' who promised to build a wall in order to prevent the end of the world.

Who should be the first person I recognize in this but Dabbs Greer, who was in everything ever filmed.

Say, that's what we need, a "What's your favorite episode of anything with Dabbs Greer in it?" thread.

ETA, in light of the first reply: I've never heard of it either. The way it starts, I was thinking it was "Tales of the Texas Rangers."

And it is apropos of nothing. There is so much shit this real trump has done we don't really need to fall back on a fifties TV drama.

I was just a kid when it was on, but I can remember watching it regularly with my family. It was Robert Culp's first big acting break, and I notice on the link that some of the writing was done by Sam Peckinpah---always a good sign.
