Mike DiMuzio knows what it means to "shoot straight from the hip." DiMuzio is a leading expert on the legendary TV western series, "The Rifleman," and builds replicas of the unusual rifle used on the program. The Kings Mountain resident also is the only performer in the world who is able to do the rapid-fire rifle stunts made famous by Chuck Connors in the classic show.

Mike plays a rugged he-man who marries a "free-thinking woman" (read: libber) many years his junior On a camping trip to celebrate their timeless love, they're spied by a trio of rapists, unseen to the viewer and the lovebirds. When they first see Mike and his bride, one of them calls out, "Check out the body on the chick with the old guy!", a line of dialogue that never would have been used on network TV just a few years before. Neither would the gang rape scene that follows. Things get really good when Mike goes after his three pounds of flesh, because his character supposedly goes crazy and, as an actor, Mike just can't do it. Imagine Jack Lord trying to emote like a psycho, then make it twice that bad. TOTAL PSYCHOTIC REVENGE TIME!

Here he talks about the traditions of Armenia. Brought to you by The Bell System - Bell Brings the World Closer.
