biography
A native Californian, dark-haired, tough-looking Dick Botiller became a fixture in B-Westerns and serials from 1933-1945, playing scores of thugs, "half-breeds," soldiers, henchmen, and assorted Native Americans, his appearances often going unbilled. Film historian Les Adams has clocked Botiller's usually nefarious presence at a total of 82 Westerns and 11 serials.
