Jack Buetel

Jack Buetel ; actually Warren Higgins (born September 5, 1915 in Dallas , Texas , † June 27, 1989 in Portland , Oregon ) was an American actor .

Life

Buetel moved from Dallas to Los Angeles in the late 1930s to begin a career as a film actor. Through his agent, he met the entrepreneur and film producer Howard Hughes who finally offered him a seven-year contract for his film productions. Buetel made his debut in Hughes' scandalous film Outlaw in 1940 in the lead role of Billy The Kid . He was assisted by the rising film star Jane Russell . Due to some complaints from the censors about the offensive display of Jane Russell's breasts, the film only saw its world premiere three years later. Buetel then joined the United States Navy and was only back on screen in 1951.

In the following years Buetel turned a few westerns , but could no longer build on the success of Geächtet . From 1956 he appeared in 25 episodes of the American television program Judge Roy Bean and from then on was increasingly seen in television productions. He had his last role in 1961 in Wagon Train and then only appeared once again, in 1982 in the TV special Night of 100 Stars , in front of the camera.
