![]() Avg.User Rating: Rate this person: Actor Born: May 13, 1938 in Los Angeles, CA Biography:American actor "Buck Taylor" was the son of western comical sidekick "Dub "Cannonball" Taylor". Buck was born in 1938, coincidentally the same year that Taylor pere made his film debut in "You Can't Take it with You". True to his heritage, Buck showed up in the occasional western, notably "Cattle Annie and Little Britches" (1980) and "Triumphs of a Man Called Horse" (1983). For the most part, Taylor's film roles fell into the "young character" niche, notably his appearances in "Ensign Pulver" (1964), "The Wild Angels" (1966) (as motorcycle punk Dear John), and "Pickup on 101" (1972). Buck Taylor will probably be seen on TV in perpetuity thanks to his recurring role as Newly O'Brian on the marathon TV western "Gunsmoke", a role which he recreated for a 1987 "Gunsmoke" reunion film. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
