At only 23 years old, Ewing quickly became a familiar and comforting presence on the long-running CBS western.<\/p>\n<p>Thad was written as the son of an elderly Oklahoma sheriff, played by Paul Fix, who comes to Dodge City pursuing the men responsible for his father\u2019s fatal heart attack. Though his warrant can\u2019t be enforced in Dodge, events lead to the culprits being killed or captured for cattle theft. That\u2019s when Marshal Matt Dillon, portrayed by James Arness, asks Thad to stay on as a deputy.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-183892 entered lazyloaded\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn-main.newsner.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2026\/01\/13072657\/ewing.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"532\" height=\"842\" data-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/cdn-main.newsner.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2026\/01\/13072657\/ewing.jpg\" data-ll-status=\"loaded\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Roger_Ewing#\/media\/File:Roger_Ewing.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Wikipedia Commons<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Ewing once explained how naturally his character fit into the\u00a0<em>Gunsmoke<\/em>\u00a0family:<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWith Thad\u2019s family gone, Matt, Kitty [Amanda Blake], Doc [Milburn Stone] and Festus [Ken Curtis] sort of adopted him,\u201d he once said.<\/p>\n<div id=\"newsner-100534337\" class=\"newsner-article_inside_content\"><\/div>\n<div id=\"newsner-95c5a58afeb20d36d997e5fdf65e41f9\" class=\"newsner-95c5a58afeb20d36d997e5fdf65e41f9 newsner-amp_article_inside_content\"><\/div>\n<p>\u201cAnything that needed to be done, you know, an extra hand here, an extra hand there, Thad was always around.

His first screen appearance came in the 1964 film\u00a0<em>Ensign Pulver<\/em>\u00a0in an uncredited role \u2014 memorably involving a beer bottle and a duck.<\/p>\n<p>Television soon followed, with guest roles on\u00a0<em>Bewitched<\/em>,\u00a0<em>Rawhide<\/em>,\u00a0<em>The Bing Crosby Show<\/em>, and\u00a0<em>The Baileys of Balboa<\/em>.

At the time, tensions between James Arness and CBS had producers quietly preparing for the possibility of replacing the show\u2019s lead \u2014 a move that ultimately proved unnecessary.<\/p>\n<p>Once the dispute was resolved and cancellation was avoided, Thad was written out and replaced by Buck Taylor\u2019s Newly O\u2019Brien, who stayed until the series ended in 1975.<\/p>\n<p>Ewing nearly landed a major film breakthrough when director John Schlesinger reportedly considered him for the role of Joe Buck in\u00a0<em>Midnight Cowboy<\/em>\u00a0(1969), though the part ultimately went to Jon Voight. Around that same time, he appeared as a bachelor contestant on\u00a0<em>The Dating Game<\/em>\u00a0\u2014 but future\u00a0<em>Bionic Woman<\/em>\u00a0star Lindsay Wagner chose someone else.<\/p>\n<p>After leaving\u00a0<em>Gunsmoke<\/em>, Ewing appeared on\u00a0<em>Death Valley Days<\/em>,\u00a0<em>The Mothers-in-Law<\/em>, and in films including\u00a0<em>Smith!<\/em>\u00a0(1969) with Glenn Ford and\u00a0<em>Play It as It Lays<\/em>\u00a0(1972). He later stepped away from acting altogether, reinventing himself as a photographer and traveling extensively through Europe, Russia, Mexico, and the South Pacific.<\/p>\n<p>In later years, he became active in local politics and even ran for a city council seat in Morro Bay in 2003.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For\u00a0<em>Gunsmoke<\/em>\u00a0fans, Roger Ewing will always be remembered as Thad \u2014 the dependable young deputy who didn\u2019t need to be the toughest or the loudest, just someone you could count on.
