Behind the Scenes of "That Guy: The Legacy of Dub Taylor"

"That Guy: The Legacy of Dub Taylor" is a ground-breaking documentary about Walter Clarence "Dub" Taylor, a Western film actor from Augusta, Ga. Taylor is credited with acting in more than 500 films and television shows, and was most well-known for his portrayal as Michael J. Pollard's double-crossing father in Bonnie & Clyde. However, most who've seen Taylor on film never remember his name after the credits roll. The well-respected character actor, with an active, six-decade career, never played a lead role in a major motion picture. Taylor's last role was a cameo in the 1994 blockbuster, Maverick, starring Jodie Foster and Mel Gibson.

Go behind the scenes and get an exclusive first look at the many interviews in the feature-length documentary that is counted as the first in-depth look at a man who most in the industry knew and respected, but who was content to stay out of the limelight.

"Behind the scenes of" usually means just that, boring though the filmmakers may be.

If you want to make a documentary about Dub Taylor or anyone else then make it about them. No one wants to see you in airports, motels or taxis. In over 12 minutes you said almost nothing about your subject, you showed Dixie Carter for about 15 seconds and wasted 3/4 of the video on absolutely nothing of interest.

Cannonball!

If I remember correctly Dub Taylor was in the 1954 Dragnet film. He was a murder victim so he only appears for a few minutes at the beginning of the film. I don't think he had any lines in the film.

/when I saw the early shots of Buck Taylor, I thought he looked like Russell Hayden, one of the Hollywoods best looking men of that time, and a great star. He was in pictures with Dub Taylor.....a friend???????

DUB TAYLOR is my favourite moviestar. I like the old stars better than the new pretty face actors that hardly can act. Names like Peter Breck, James Coburn, Claude Akins, Pernell Roberts mfl is amazing oh yeah i forgot Jack Elam. Ive seen several films with Dub and my favouries are Bonnie and Clyde,Thunderbolt, A man called horse and Maverick. DUB TAYLOR the best actor in the whole world.

Guys-cut to the chase quicker--show us some footage of Dub. C'mon even clips from 'You Can't Take It With You' or whatever would have sufficed. The travelogue thing here is okay but buries the lead, if ya will. Love Dub Taylor so thanks for doing this.
