More Deadwood trivia.

Darin explained why the actor playing George Hurst on the final episode of Deadwood looked familiar. It was Gerald McRaney who older readers will remember was one of the Simon’s on Simon and Simon which aired on CBS for eight seasons and then went on to star in and produce Major Dad. My favorite Gerald McRaney triva is that he was the last guest star to meet Matt Dillon in a gunfight on Gunsmoke (1955).

And if you happened to catch CSI on Thursday, you saw Robin Weigert who did such an amazing job as Calamity Jane on Deadwood. And a month or so back, Swearengen’s right-hand-man, Dan (W.Earl Brown), showed up in a small part on CSI: Miami.

Just like in the movies.

A story in the news today from St. Louis County: A man who broke into a St. Louis County home and held a woman hostage has been shot and killed by the woman’s husband. The husband and wife are both 73. Police say the burglar was holding four-inch scissors to the woman’s throat. The husband told the man he had to get his wallet from the bedroom…but came back with a gun…and when his wife pulled away, he shot the burglar. Police believe the burglar was responsible for other home invasions and burglaries in the area.
