*Festus never appeared in any of the Gunsmoke made-for-TV movies. This is because Ken Curtis refused to play Festus after learning the amount of money he would be paid for the first film, Gunsmoke: Return to Dodge, and said that he should be paid based on Festus' importance in the cast. As a result, Newly O'Brien became the deputy Marshal.
