According to Dennis Weaver, the late actor who played the role of Chester Goode, the producers of the show wanted him to develop a disability to explain why Chester never carried a gun and had a nonviolent attitude. Weaver showed up to the first day of shooting and demonstrated the now famous limp, without any explanation as to why or how Chester got it. The producers loved it and from the beginning of the series, Chester limped, though on occasion Weaver would forget and limp with the wrong leg.

Dennis Weaver simply did it - he refused to wear any kind of device on the leg in fear that if he were to fall from a horse or something the leg could be injured if he couldn't bend it. He had an amazing concentration to walk like that the whole time he was on camera. He did say once that it took a while after he left Gunsmoke to not automatically limp whenever the director said "action".
