RODEO & JULIET: JUDGE LAWRENCE

Welcome aboard Buck Taylor
for the role of Judge Lawrence!

We are honored to welcome our friend and awesome painter, Buck Taylor!  In 2005, Buck had a role in our film, "Miracle at Sage Creek" as Buckskin Charlie.

NOTE in his scenes in his office, his paintings are decorating the walls!

(from Wikipedia)
Best known for his role as gunsmith-turned-deputy Newly O'Brien in 174 episodes during the last eight seasons of CBS's Gunsmoke television series (1967–1975). 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.

He appeared on CBS's Dallas starring Larry Hagman and Walker, Texas Ranger starring Chuck Norris.

Taylor had a memorable role too as "Turkey Creek" Jack Johnson in Tombstone (1993) and appeared in 1997 in Rough Riders, both co-starring with Sam Elliott. He appeared in director John Lee Hancock's The Alamo (2004) and in the Wyoming-based Flicka (2006), a loose adaptation of the novel My Friend Flicka.

He appeared as Ben Lily in January 2008, with his friend Val Kilmer in the CBS miniseries Comanche Moon, another in the Lonesome Dove line of television films. 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.

Taylor's self-portrait hangs in the Texas Cowboy Hall of Fame in Fort Worth. Taylor is also an inductee of the Texas Cowboy Hall of Fame in Fort Worth and has received the "Spirit of Texas" Award. In 1993, he received the Golden Boot award which honors the "Best of the West" from the Motion Picture and Television Fund. In 1998, Taylor, Rex Allen, and Christina Paine won the "Cowboy Spirit Award".

In 2000, Taylor was memorialized in "The Trail of Fame" on the streets of Dodge City, the western Kansas town where Gunsmoke is set. He has also received the "Spirit of the West" award, along with Jack Palance and Roy Rogers. Additionally, Taylor is recognized on the Hollywood Walk of Fame with his friends Sam Elliott and Katharine Ross. Taylor's star also appears on the streets of "Little Hollywood" in Kanab, Utah. There his star is between Ronald W. Reagan and Tom Mix.

In 1981, Taylor was inducted as a trustee in the National Cowboy and Western Heritage Museum in Oklahoma City for his Gunsmoke role. In 2006, he was awarded by the same organization with the "Wrangler" (or Western Heritage Award). Taylor has a plaque on the Walk of Western Stars in Santa Clarita, California, that includes past recipients James Arness and other Gunsmoke alumni, Dennis Weaver and the late Amanda Blake.
