Yeah, I think that was. And Slim Pickens' first role, too.

Slim Pickens first movie was in 1950. By the 1964 release of DS, he'd been
in over 50 movies. http://us.imdb.com/name/nm0001620/

The story,
as I understand it, was that Peter Sellers was originally going to play
the bomber pilot, but he fell on the set and was injured just before
shooting of the B-52 scenes was to start. Slim Pickens was a stage hand
and Stanley Kubrik heard him talking. His thought was, "That guy
wouldn't even have to act!"

A couple winters ago, the family was out clearing the driveway when my #2
son slipped and fell flat on his face. As my wife ran over to check on him,
he staggered to his feet and screamed , "MEIN FURHUR...I CAN VALK".
