9/12 with some lucky guesses. Excellent athlete, pilot in ww2, long Hollywood career, well liked and way ahead of his time on environmental issues. I believe Mr Weaver was a good man. I would have liked to have met him.

I BOMBED on this one, I had no idea Dennis was in such demand! BTW what's this business about Weaver mostly being remembered for "Chester"? I had never seen the b/w Gunsmoke episodes until I bought em on DVD! I primarily knew Dennis Weaver from McCLOUD on Wednesday nights on NBC! Even with DUEL I asked "Why's that crazy truck driver chasing McCloud?!"

Missed 10, 11 and 12. Gentle Ben was one of the very first TV shows I remember. I remember Clint Howard being in it as well.

Gotta admit, a few were just lucky guesses.

9 out of 12.

I always liked Dennis Weaver. McCloud was one of my dad's favourite shows along with Cannon, Mannix and Starsky and Hutch

12/12, surprised as several were just wild guesses, like #6, I've never heard of any of them.

All I know about Dennis Weaver is that he and Don Knotts died on the same day at the same age.

Hard to believe they were only born about seven weeks apart, too

9/12; fun but tough quiz. I do not know much about Dennis Weaver and did not watch much of the shows he was in.

12/12 Duel was one of the better low budget movies from 1971.
