Amazing Child Acting Performance: Johnny Crawford in "The Rifleman" ("The Pet", 1959) (video)




In this episode, Mark (Johnny Crawford) is bitten by a horse infected with anthrax.

Believing that he is going to die, he is heartbroken and afraid.

Lucas (Chuck Connors) assures him that the town doctor has a new serum that can cure him.

Johnny Crawford's performance in the final scene is amazingly effective...

...displaying the emotional intensity of a method actor.
