Trivia
A legendary Hollywood quick-draw expert and gun coach, he appeared as the anonymous bad guy who loses the gun duel with James Arness' Marshal Matt Dillon in the opening of the long-running weekly TV series Gunsmoke (1955). Arvo once said that the royalties that he earned from that one scene paid for many Cadillacs over the years.
