Other Links.....How many of you remember Johnny Ginger?
I got this e-mail on 2/21/08 from Johnny's son, Sean. 

My dad, Johnny Ginger, was in the Rifleman episode, 'Two Ounces of Tin.' You probably know the character he plays. I have a 16mm film from the set of that episode. It's silent and black and white. It has Sammy Davis Jr. and my dad riding horses as well as footage of Chuck Connors and the cast and crew. You can see the camera and film crew. There's a scene with Johnny Crawford riding his bike on the set.

I've been researching online and you are the only one I could find. I am curious if the producers would be interested in this film for bonus features for the new DVD set. If not, I thought the general public, as well as you would like to see this footage.

My dad also played Billy the Kid in The Three Stooges Outlaws is Coming. I have a film from that as well. I made a page for my dad if you would like to see it. Johnny Ginger

There is a picture of him with Chuck Connors on there.

I wrote back to Sean & told him that I would love to see this clip & so would the fans.  He also is suppose to be getting back to me about a possible project here at the ranch, hope he does!  posted 3/7/08
