Paul Fix

Peter Paul Fix was an American actor who portrayed Marshal Micah Torrance in The Rifleman.
==Childhood gun accident==
When Fix was a child, he and his brother were playing with a gun when it accidentally misfired and shot Fix in the face, the bullet traveling through Fix's nose just below his eyes and exiting the back of his head. This gave him a fear of both guns and cameras and anything pointing at him because of a fear they would shoot. His decision to go into acting largely stemmed from a need to overcome this fear. As a result of this near-death experience, on the set of The Rifleman, he was overprotective of Johnny Crawford (the actor who played Mark McCain) around the prop guns used in the show.MeTV - A shocking accident as a young boy made Paul Fix extra-protective of Johnny Crawford on The Rifleman
