Thanks for that one, Robbie!
He also went on to even greater fame as a second unit director.
The best always seem to gravitate toward each other!

Two come to mid right off: "Good Chuck" Hayward (so named for his outgoing and friendly personality), and "Bad Chuck" Roberson (due to his affection for the opposite sex, according to what Maureen O'Hara observed on the set of Rio Grande!).
Roberson was in most of the John Wayne films of the late 40's through the 70's, and sometimes got a really juicy part. He even got to romance Yvonne DeCarlo in "McLintock." He was a member of the John Ford Stock Company along wityh the Duke and Ms. O'Hara.
According to IMDB, Hayward had a horse that could fall on cue named "Twinkle Toes!"
