Buck Connors on AllMovie

A writer and assistant director of Dot Farley comedy Westerns for the Albuquerque Film Mfg. Co. (1913-1914), white-haired, bearded Buck Connors (born George Connors) turned to acting full time in the 1920s and would appear opposite nearly every B-Western hero on the Hollywood range. Usually cast as crotchety old codgers, miners, or the heroine's much-beleaguered father, Connors' last credited performance came not in a B-Western but as one of the townsmen in William Wyler's taciturn The Westerner (1940).
