After Gunsmoke, Taylor was cast as the outlaw Dan Clifton, who died at 31, in the 1981 film, Cattle Annie and Little Britches, a fictional portrayal of the teenaged bandits, Cattle Annie and Little Britches, played by Amanda Plummer and Diane Lane, respectively. Taylor is called "Dynamite Dick" in the film, but Clifton's nickname was "Dynamite Dan."
In 1983, Taylor appeared in the film, The Triumphs of a Man Called Horse. In the film, Gettysburg (1993), he played William Gamble. In the 2003 production, Gods and Generals, Taylor was cast as Maxcy Gregg.

Taylor in 2008 worked in three films, The Hard Ride, The Last Horseman, and Legend of Hell's Gate.[8] While he was clean shaven in Gunsmoke, he, like other cowboy actors, later elected to sport a deep mustache.
