Best made four appearances on the syndicated anthology series "Death Valley Days". His first role was as miner "Tiny" Stoker in the 1955 episode "Million Dollar Wedding". In the story line, Stoker, in a bet with two of his cohorts, proposes marriage to a presumably plain woman in their community, Aggie Filene (played by Virginia Lee, an actress who lived from 1924 to 2008). Soon, though, the couple falls madly in love with each other and goes on a worldwide honeymoon tour with proceeds from a gold strike that they had nearly forfeited. And Aggie returns to the mining camp as a beautiful woman.
