- TriviaJohn Russell was only forty-seven and looked even younger than that, when he was cast in this series. He believed that in order for a man like Dan Troop to have gained the kind of experience and maturity he possessed, he would have had to have been in at least his mid fifty, so Russell had the Make-up Department streak gray through his hair, and he lowered his voice when he spoke, in order to appear several years older.
- GoofsFrequent references to Fort Laramie indicate the fort is close to the town of Laramie. Actually, Fort Laramie is over 100 miles from Laramie.

The Lawman came with the Sun...........
'Lawman' was shown on Australian television in the early 1960's, and I remember it as being one of the best of the genre, amongst others great western series, such as 'Trackdown', 'Cheyenne', 'Have Gun, Will Travel','Gunsmoke', and so many others from the golden years of television westerns. John Russell was most impressive as Marshall Dan Troop, reminding me of a long lean Clark Gable, and Peter Brown as the young deputy, who tried to live up to his boss's ideal! Above average scripts, and fine performances by Russell & Brown defined this series, and why Warner Bros. haven't seen fit to release it onto DVD, I have no idea? They'd be doing themselves, and western fans a great favour! It took a long while for 'Cheyenne' to appear, and 'Maverick' is still waiting, so perhaps there's also hope for the great 'Lawman'? Incidentally, Warners westerns had the greatest theme songs around!
