Howdy today angiemitchell! yeah I think most of my readers have seen those silly old Westerns, YOU even saw them in Australia! That pretty interesting.
I don't know who you mean when you ask about the actor that did the bear slapping. Another Texas Ranger said that he was reminded of a Grizzly slapping a cow when he saw Frank slap a ruffian upside the head.
There probably was an actor who did that too but I don't know who that would be.
Well, he was one big bear of a dude who could bear slap, lol.
