Roger Ewing’s life reads like a quiet Western of its own: a shy Los Angeles kid who loved Gunsmoke, suddenly stepping through the television screen and into Dodge City. At just 23, he wasn’t the swaggering gunslinger or the grizzled lawman; he was the lanky, soft-spoken deputy audiences instinctively trusted. On a show filled with legends, he made kindness his signature.
When the cameras stopped, Ewing didn’t cling to fame or chase headlines. He walked away with almost startling decisiveness, trading soundstages for a camera of his own, traveling the world and eventually settling in Morro Bay. There, he poured himself into photography, community, and local politics, living the kind of unhurried, principled life most celebrities only pretend to want. For Gunsmoke fans, he remains forever Thad: the adopted son of Dodge, steady, loyal, and quietly heroic long after the credits rolled.
