Actor Ronnie Scribner was the first of three actors to be in the role of "Jeremiah" in the Kenny Rogers' "The Gambler" TV movies. The second movie was after Ronnie had halted his movie and acting career. The second actor in the role was Charles Fields. Eventually, there were a total of five "The Gambler" movies, but the role of "Jeremiah" was not used in all five movies. In the fifth of five films, "Jeremiah" was played by an older actor to fit the progress of the movie series, and that was actor Kris Kamm.
Continuity
Although the story is obviously set very shortly after The Gambler (1980), Brady Hawkes shows no sign of the pronounced limp he had in that movie.
