When I was about 5 one of my Great Grandfathers looked and talked just like him. Mom said I thought it was him on TV one time.

"Brennan was politically conservative.[37] In 1963 and 1964, he joined actors William Lundigan, Chill Wills, and Efrem Zimbalist, Jr. in making appearances on behalf of U.S. Senator Barry M. Goldwater, the Republican nominee in the campaign against President Lyndon B. Johnson.[38]
In 1964, Brennan spoke at "Project Prayer", a rally attended by 2,500 at the Shrine Auditorium in Los Angeles. The gathering, which was hosted by Anthony Eisley, sought to flood Congress with letters in support of mandatory school prayer, following two decisions of the Supreme Court in 1962 and 1963 which struck down the practice of mandatory prayer in public schools as being in conflict with the Establishment Clause of the First Amendment to the United States Constitution.[39] Also at the rally were Rhonda Fleming, Lloyd Nolan, Dale Evans, Pat Boone, and Gloria Swanson.
Brennan, a Roman Catholic, did not publicize his own religious affiliation, but declared, "I'm too old not to be a religious fella. [...] It appears we are losing something a lot of people made a lot of sacrifices for."[39] During the 1960s, he became convinced that the antiwar and civil rights movements were being aided by overseas Communists from the Soviet Union through their support of local communist sympathizers and agitators, and said as much in interviews.[40]. In interviews, he voiced his belief that Communist forces were behind the civil rights and anti-war movements, and reportedly expressed glee on the set of his final series "The Guns of Will Sonnett" (ABC, 1967-69) upon hearing the news that Martin Luther King, Jr., had been assassinated. In 1972, he supported the presidential campaign of conservative California congressman John Schmitz over that of Richard Nixon, whom he believed to be too moderate.[41] He was a member of the John Birch Society.

"The Far Country", co-starred with Jimmy Stewart. My favorite. Loosely based on the life of Gold Rush con-man Soapy Smith, and how he met his fate. Very loosely.

Back then, they didn't give RINO's the courtesy of calling them "moderates", they were just called "Liberal Republicans" and Nixon was one. So was Ford. Reagan wasn't. Bush was.
He grew up in Northeastern Oregon. He had a ranch just east of Enterprise. I was at the ranch back in the 70's. Brennan was not there at the time but the family that was running the ranch said he spent alot of time there.
