Gunsmoke Chester and Festus Haggen are perhaps Dillon's most recognizable sidekicks, though others became acting deputies for ​2 1⁄2- to ​7 1⁄2-year stints: Quint Asper (Burt Reynolds) (1962–65), Thad Greenwood (Roger Ewing) (1966–68), and Newly O'Brien (Buck Taylor) (1967–75), who served as both back-up deputy and doctor-in-training, having some studies in medicine via his uncle, which then continued under Doc Adams.
