Fess Parker had a small role as "Crazy Texan Pilot" who saw the ants but nobody believes him. Just one scene, but the acting was impressive.

Walt Disney screened the movie to look at James Arness as a possible Davey Crockett but was so impressed by Parker, he got the role.

Of course, starring in one of the longest running TV shows of all time was a nice consolation prize for Arness.
