Actor. He received notoriety as an American actor during the 20th century. As a four-year-old actor with large brown eyes using the name of “Buzz” Henry, he had the role of the heroine's little brother in the 1935 Columbia Studios B-western film, “Western Frontier.” He had a major role in the 1940 film “Buzzy Rides the Range” and in 1941 “Phantom Pinto.” In the 1943 film “Calling Wild Bill Elliot,” he mounts a horse and races at a speed equaled to the camera mounted on the truck traveling parallel beside him. As an adult actor, he was a stuntman doubling for actors such as Frank Sinatra, Glenn Ford, and James Coburn. Since his mother managed horse stables, he learned how to ride a horse at an early age. Having a daredevil personality, he often appeared as a rodeo performer in Western movies. His film appearances included “The Last Command” in 1955, “3:10 to Yuma” in 1957, “Tonka” in 1958, “The Rise and Fall of Legs Diamond” in 1960, “Shenandoah” and “Von Ryan's Express” in 1965, and “El Dorado” in 1966. He was stunt coordinator and second unit director for the 1972 John Wayne film “The Cowboys”. While apparently drag racing , he was killed in an auto-motorcycle accident on the street in front of Forest Lawn Cemetery.
