Who the hell was that actor who was in so many western movies, walked with a limp, I think he was on the TV show with the Ponderosa (and Luke), and was always hitching around with his limp and saying "dagnabbit?"

Bonanza! That was the TV show.

Walter Brennan? Was that the guy? I can do a good imitation of his voice even now, but can't be sure of his name.
