He really was from Arkansas

In one of the episodes of Season 2 of the television show Combat!, the character Doc (the medic) is asked where he is from. He replies that he is from Arkansas, which his accent definitely fits. As it turns out, the actor who played that role was Conlan Carter, who actually was born in Center Ridge, Arkansas, an unincorporated community in Conway County. However, he grew up in the bootheel area of Missouri.
