Mike Mazurski in bit part?


Towards end of moviewhen Don Knotts is confessing in the bar that he is not a great gunfighter. A Man leans in and says "But Doc Somebody killed all those indians". Never get a good look at his face but side shot. It sure sounds like Mike Mazurski and has the grin of him as well?

I don't know this man, but I was surprised to see Pat Morita(mr miyagi.)
His smile is unmistakable.

You must have been drinking heavily while you were watching the film. For one thing, you can get a good look at that fellow both before and after he made the comment. He looks nothing like Mike Mazurki (not Mazurski). That actor, whoever he is, is barely taller than Don Knotts who was only about 5'6". Mike Mazurki was around 6'5". He would have towered over Don Knotts and most of the other actors in that scene.

I had to check up on the height of Don Knotts. You are right. He was a small guy. And yet in some scenes he is made to look tall. Particularly his speech scene after he has qualified to be a dentist.
