Why did old TV shows used the same actors over & over ?

Asked by Pretty_Lilly (4660points) January 18th, 2010

Is there a reason why old TV shows used guest actors over and over to play different roles !
eg. Bonanza,they had one specific actor play over 5 different characters through out the shows run. I have seen it with other shows,was there a shortage of actors ?
