"The Rifleman" TV series was originally created and developed by Sam Peckinpah, who would later go on to be a director of classic westerns and action films. Chuck Connors played the part of Luke McCain, and Johnny Crawford was Mark McCain, his son. With that aside, Johnny Crawford actually was the real star, and scene-stealer of the show. He was so believable as Mark McCain.. Even before the series was over, Johnny became an overnight teen-idol, and singing sensation with many hit records to his credit. It is not well known but Johnny was one of the original Mickey Mouse Club Mousekeeters in 1955. Johnny had a very mellifluous speaking voice. It was so cool to listen to him say his lines. "The Rifleman" TV series aired from 1958 to 1963. In this edition of Endyr's Movie Theater I am featuring Johnny Crawford singing the very beautiful "Living In The Past". Safe journeys to all the fans of Endyr's Movie Theater, wherever you may be.
