I'm watching the grand old series from youth, "Wagon Train", starring Ward Bond. one of the episodes, "The Colter Craven Story" was directed by John Ford and had a cameo by John Wayne, (using the name "Michael Morris", which is not quite a pseudonym because John's real name was "Marion Morrison". I'd always thought that  this was the only time John Ford directed an episode of a TV series and John Wayne appeared in one, (save for his famous introduction to "Gunsmoke" in 1955) but not quite. I read on the IMDB that he'd appeared in two other shows.

One is a 1955 30 minute show called "Rookie of the Year that's been colorized. John Wayne plays a cynical reporter who has found that the father of a Mickey Mantle-like young star, (played by John's son Patrick), is the son of one of the Black Sox, (played by Ward Bond)> Does he make a name for himself by reporting the story or spare the family? It's pretty good.
