Clyde McClary on AllMovie

If a B-Western needed a bartender -- any B-Western between the early 1920s and the late 1930s -- chances were good that Clyde McClary would be the actor hired. In fact, Clyde was found behind the bar in more than two-thirds of his 80 or so sound Westerns, serving everybody from Buck Jones in the early talkie The Dawn Trail (1930) to Tim McCoy in the ultra low-budget Code of the Cactus (1939). In films from at least 1922, McClary had often played rather unsympathetic characters, i.e., a nasty rustler terrorizing the local settlers in The Lone Rider (1922) and one of the smugglers in Twin Triggers (1926).
