Dub Taylor - Legacy

Legacy

His son, Buck Taylor, is also an actor and a painter. Buck Taylor played deputy Newly O'Brien on CBS's long-running Gunsmoke. Before he joined the Gunsmoke cast, Buck Taylor appeared in ten episodes of the largely forgotten ABC western, The Monroes in 1966-1967. Dub Taylor appeared in two of those episodes and also guest starred numerous times on Gunsmoke. Buck and Dub Taylor appeared together in the 1991 Turner Network Television film Conagher starring Buck Taylor's friend Sam Elliott and Elliott's wife, Katharine Ross.

In early 2006, filmmaker Mark Stokes began directing a feature-length documentary on the life of Dub Taylor, That Guy: The Legacy of Dub Taylor, which has received support from the Taylor Family and many of Dub's previous co-workers, including Bill Cosby, Peter Fonda, Dixie Carter, John Mellencamp, Don Collier, and Cheryl Rogers-Barnett. The project is from executive producers Stokes and James Kicklighter from JamesWorks Entertainment and Professor Pauper Productions.
