This is the fourth of twelve appearances House Peters Jr. makes in the series, always playing the sheriff, but not always by the same name. During season three and four while the Millers are still on the farm, his name is Jim Billings. Later in the series, i.e. seasons 11 and 12, when Lassie had left the farm and was companion to Corey Stuart, played by Robert Bray, House Peters Jr. appears as the sheriff, but under the name Jim Simmons or just Sheriff Tom.
