Buck Black on AllMovie

A freckled, toothy boy rider in silent Westerns, Buck Black played the young Teddy Roosevelt in Lights of Old Broadway (1925) and was Ken Maynard's sidekick in Senor Daredevil (1926). He changed his name to Bret Black for a couple of Our Gang appearances (Ten Years Old [1927], Noisy Noises [1928]) but sound and adolescence basically ended his screen career. As a young teenager, Black left films after playing Cecilia Parker's brother in the 1934 Buck Jones Western Unknown Valley but later did some animation voiceover work.
