Dennis Weaver, whose amiable aw-shucks manner made his television characters equally welcome in the Wild West and on the streets of New York, died of cancer Friday at his Colorado home, his family disclosed yesterday. He was 81.
He became a 1950s pop-culture fixture as the stiff-legged and much-parodied Deputy Chester Goode on the smash TV series "Gunsmoke," and he revived that Western connection the last nine years by hosting the Western channel for the Starz TV network.
To 1970s television viewers, he was Sam McCloud, a slow-talking but sharp-witted New Mexico marshal who chased a fugitive to New York and ended up staying for seven years on the "McCloud" mystery movie series.
Born in Joplin, Mo., Weaver was a World War II pilot and star athlete who came close to qualifying for the decathlon in the 1948 Olympics.
He then turned to acting and made his Broadway debut in 1950 in "Come Back, Little Sheba."
He also began taking movie roles and appeared in dozens of films in addition to his extensive television work.
"He was a very, very skilled actor," said James Arness, who played Marshal Matt Dillon in "Gunsmoke" and with whom Weaver became life-long friends.
They worked together in September on a DVD marking the 50th anniversary of "Gunsmoke."
Late-night television viewers will recognize him in the early Steven Spielberg movie "Duel," where he played a businessman who is chased across the desert by a maniac in a fuel truck.
Weaver also starred on television in the late-1960s series "Gentle Ben," in which he played a wildlife officer whose family befriended a large bear.
He would later say that role was after his heart, since he was a longtime environmental activist. In 1989, he built Earthship, a 10,000-square-foot solar-powered home in Ridgway, Colo., using 3,000 recycled tires and 300,000 aluminum and tin cans.
He is survived by his wife of 60 years, Gerry, and three sons. Plans for a memorial service were pending last night.
