That same year, he played the mobster [[Bugs Moran]] in an episode of ABC's ''[[The Untouchables (1959 TV series)|The Untouchables]]'', with [[Robert Stack]]. In 1963, he was cast as Sheriff Ernie Backwater on [[Richard Boone]]'s ''[[Have Gun β Will Travel]]'' [[Western (genre)|Western]] series on CBS, then worked as a regular cast member on the 1963β64 anthology series ''[[The Richard Boone Show]]''. In the 1964β1965 season, Morgan co-starred as Seldom Jackson in the 26-week NBC comedy/drama ''[[Kentucky Jones]]'', starring [[Dennis Weaver]], formerly of ''[[Gunsmoke]]''.
