Buck Taylor (born Walter Clarence Taylor III,[1][2] May 13, 1938)[3] is an American actor and artist, best known for his role as gunsmith-turned-deputy Newly O'Brian in the CBS television series Gunsmoke.
Early life and career
Taylor is the son of character actor Dub Taylor,[4] from whom Buck reportedly acquired his nickname simply because, having clocked in at a hefty nine pounds at birth, he "looked like a big buck."&
