Glen Ryle as Ed/Townsman in
First Wages.
Glenn Ryle Schnitker was a
long-time television personality in Cincinnati, Ohio. He is best
remembered by Cincinnatians for hosting the Skipper Ryle Show
for seventeen years on WKRC Television.
Besides the host of the
Children's show host (Skipper Ryle), Glen was also a
news/sports/weather reporter
and game show emcee (Bowling For Dollars).
Here's a bit of trivia from Glenn Gilbert about the episode
'First Wages'.....
"You may not know unless you're from Cincinnati. The walk-on
appearance of 'Ed', (or 'townsman' in the credits), who delivers
'wanted' posters to Micah in his office as Lucas leaves in a huff,
was Cincinnati-local television personality Glen 'Skipper' Ryle, who
hosted a children's show, among other duties, at WKRC-TV. The
moniker 'Skipper' stuck because, on the kids show, he attired
himself as an Ohio riverboat captain.
I remember as a kid growing up here back in the '60's the story that
Chuck Connors came to town to catch the Dodgers vs. the Reds, and
that he invited Glen Ryle to appear on The Rifleman. That was his
15 seconds of fame!
Born: January 16, 1927
Died: September 19, 1993 in Cincinnati, Ohio
