The Gambler Returns: Luck of the Draw (1991) features Kenny Rogers and Reba McEntire in a TV-movie that depicts Rogers' "Gambler" character, Brady Hawkes ("...know when to fold 'em..."), running across a galaxy of old TV western characters played by the original actors, including Gene Barry as Bat Masterson, Hugh O'Brien as Wyatt Earp, Jack Kelly as Bart Maverick, Clint Walker as Cheyenne Bodie, David Carradine as Kung Fu's Caine, Chuck Connors as The Rifleman, Brian Keith as The Westerner, James Drury and Doug McClure from The Virginian, Paul Brinegar from Rawhide, and so on. The characters are attending a poker game said to be in honour of Paladin from Have Gun - Will Travel. Everyone in the film, including Theodore Roosevelt (Claude Akins), seems openly thrilled to encounter Brady Hawkes. The TV-movie was directed by Dick Lowry and inspired by the song "The Gambler" written by Don Schlitz.
