Bud Osborne

Leonard Miles "Bud" Osborne (July 20, 1884 – February 2, 1964) was an American film actor.

[1] Osborne specialized in westerns, and was also noted for his skill as a stagecoach driver, and was thus much in demand from his first film in 1912 right through the early 1950s.

He was working as a stunt man as late as 1948 (at age 64) in Ray Enright's Return of the Bad Men.

Because Bud Osborne worked in westerns almost exclusively, perhaps his most unusual role was that of a big-game hunter in Sam Katzman's 1955 serial The Adventures of Captain Africa.

Bud Osborne kept working into his seventies, playing small character parts in such television western series as Have Gun – Will Travel, Bonanza, Bat Masterson, The Life and Legend of Wyatt Earp, Rawhide and The Lone Ranger.
