Equine Actor. He starred along with Gene Autry, Gregory Peck and Jennifer Jones, in many movies including, "It Happened in Hollywood", "Duel in the Sun" and "Arizona." He was in great demand for his extraordinary ability to 'track' exactly in his own tracks. This is hard for a horse to do but very important to the film maker who must set his cameras and lights perfectly. When Dice was to work a scene at liberty, the trainer would walk him along the path which he was to follow. Once they were ready to film, he was turned loose and cued for the speed they wanted. He never veered from the original walk-through.
