My Take

Milburn Stone embodies a kind of greatness I treasure: the irreplaceable supporting player. As 'Doc' on Gunsmoke, this Kansas-born actor inhabited a single role for two decades, earned an Emmy, and got a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, yet never needed top billing. Living one character that long is, to me, the hardest thing an actor can do, and he made it look like home. He passed in 1980, but Doc still feels like he is keeping his office open in the hearts of Western fans everywhere. Stone taught me how much quiet, dependable mastery can outlast louder fame.
