  • "The Rifleman" is a classic American Western television series that premiered in 1958. As we look back on the show 65 years after its debut, we remember the talented cast that brought the characters to life. Chuck Connors, who played the lead role of Lucas McCain, passed away in 1992 at the age of 71. However, his portrayal of the tough and skilled rifleman is still remembered by fans of the show today. Johnny Crawford, who played Lucas's son Mark McCain, is now 76 years old and continues to act and perform music.Sadly, both Fix and Blair passed away in 1983 and 2013, respectively. Despite the passing of some of its cast members, "The Rifleman" remains a beloved show that continues to capture the hearts of audiences today. Its memorable characters, engaging storylines, and classic Western setting have made it a timeless classic that generations of fans have enjoyed. Thanks for the memories, "The Rifleman" - 65 years after your debut, your legacy lives on.

    Sad to see that Johnny Crawford passed away.I remember watching him on the Rifleman. We were both the same age and watched him growing up.Back in the 60s just about every show on prime time was either a western or a cop series.

      Johnny Crawford used to visit orphanages and Children's Hospitals when he was in the military. He was like a grown up Mark McCain.
      loved his show when I was younger. RIP

      The video would be enjoyable if it was correct and didn’t have Clickbait photo Johnny never lost his legs. The rifleman was a great TV series. I was going to subscribe then I realized not a chance. And the math doesn’t even add up. Video must be made in China.
