And well before Rat Patrol, he made guest appearances on Gunsmoke--several. In fact for Y&R fans, the actress who played the character Mrs. Chancellor many years ago, also appeared on Gunsmoke (Jeanne Cooper, died quite a few years ago). Watching old reruns, you never know who will turn up!

Braeden has seen a lot in his lifetime and he is no dummy!
