trivia question about beverly hillbillies..help!

[canuck]

I cant find the answer and need it for a contest im in...we can use the web!

On the tv series, the Beverly hillbilies, one character known as Homer Noodleman was also known by his movie name. What was it?

[tdr]

I think that was "Dash Riprock," when Granny insisted EllyMae find a farm boy to court her, or else move back to the hills to find one. So Jed, the owner of the movie studio Dash was under contract with, got him to play a farm boy suitor called "Homer Noodleman."

And any true Beverly Hillbillies fan knows that Homer Noodleman was Dash Riprock's original name before he was discovered as he was,"pumping gas in Peoria,Illinois."
