You guys are close enough. "Them!" which I happened to see in a theater in 1954 (and spent the next several nights hiding under my covers in bed), starred James Arness, who of course went on to bigger stuff in "Gunsmoke. And, you're right, Mike - Fess Parker had a minor part in the flick, just before he hit the big time on TV as Davy Crockett. And, you're also right, Mike - Leonard Nimoy had a very brief uncredited part as an army sergeant. My favorite ballplayer turned low-budget film actor, John Beradino, played a cop in the movie and had several scenes with dialog, despite appearing uncredited. Gee, I wonder why Chuck Connors' agent didn't have him audition for the film? Maybe it paid peanuts, I guess.
