Dub Taylor

Walter Clarence "Dub" Taylor, Jr. was an American actor, singer, and musician, who appeared in Disney films, such as The Wild Country, The Adventures of Bullwhip Griffin, and The Rescuers.
He was born in Richmond, Virginia and spent his early years in Georgia, South Carolina, and Oklahoma. He began his early career in vaudeville, working as a harmonica and xylophone player in New York City. This would help in secure his role of Ed Carmichael in Frank Capra's You Can't Take It with You. Throughout the 1940s, he originated the role of Cannonball, a sidekick character for leading actors, such as Charles Starrett, Russell Hayden, Don 'Red' Barry, Bill Elliott, and Jimmy Wakely, for several B-movie Westerns until the dawn of the 1950s in order to get roles in large budget films.
He had bit parts in a number of classic motion pictures, including Mr. Smith Goes to Washington, Them!, A Star Is Born, Auntie Mame, Sweet Bird of Youth, Major Dundee, The Hallelujah Trail, The Cincinnati Kid, Bonnie and Clyde, Bandolero!, The Shakiest Gun in the West, A Man Called Horse, Support Your Local Gunfighter, Evel Knievel, Tom Sawyer, Pat Garrett and Billy the Kid, The Winds of Autumn, 1941, Cannonball Run II, and Back to the Future Part III. His television credits included I Love Lucy, Casey Jones, Dennis the Menace, Cheyenne, The Roy Rogers Show, The Twilight Zone, Hazel, Death Valley Days, My Favorite Martian, The Wild Wild West, The Mod Squad, The Monkees, Bonanza, Gunsmoke, The Andy Griffith Show, Little House on the Prairie, The Cosby Show, and Designing Women.
Suffering from congestive heart failure in his later years, Taylor died of a heart attack on October 3, 1994. He was cremated, and his ashes were scattered near Westlake Village, California.
