He's an accomplished artist. Very talented western art painter. I met him at an art show. A true gentleman.

Gunsmoke's 20 year run was divided into 3 segments, the Chester era, the Festus era and the Newly era. The Festus and Newly era overlapped but of course all 20 years worth of episodes were excellent. Newly O'Brien offered something that the show had been missing : an educated Easterner with the guts and common sense that Marshall Dillon could appreciate. Some of the best episodes of entire series were the ones that were centered around Newly. Loved seeing this interview.

Buck Taylor, not only an amazing actor but, all around great guy and wonderful human being. God Bless you Buck 👍

Buck is one of the nicest people around. Met him in Dodge City and I was so thrilled to speak with him and he was way too kind with taking pictures. He is a wonderful actor and an all around wonderful man!

I met Mr. Taylor today at the Ft. Worth stock show and he was such a treat to talk to! Shook my hand and looked me dead in the eye like a true cowboy does! Completely humbled to meet this Texas legend!

My sweet Dad, who passed away in 2007, met Buck Taylor at the Fort Worth Rodeo back in the 1990s. My Dad was a very quiet conservative pre-depression farmer's child, born the year the Singing Brakeman, Jimmie Rodgers, hit the big-time.....1927. He said that Buck Taylor was very nice, and a very interesting and talented man. Gunsmoke was mine AND my Dad's favorite TV show during it's twenty-year run. God bless Buck Taylor, and thanks for playing in and starring in some of the best westerns ever made. PS......also absolutely loved your father, the talented and hilarious Dub Taylor for all his years and contributions to Hollywood and American entertainment.

An amazing thing about growing older is that your voice never changes. He may not look the same but he still sounds like Newly. I love the episode of Gunsmoke when Newly's wife died and he devoted his life to becoming a doctor. I watch Gunsmoke every weekday on METV. It is the highlight of my day.

I LOVE GUNSMOKE I STILL WATCH IT EVERY NIGHT ON INST- CH 364 ON DIRECT - TV, FROM 10PM TILL 1AM 3 SHOWS EVERY NIGHT, THE SHOWS ARE FROM 1957 TO 1967, THE BLACK & WHITE ONES, THEN ON CH 33 ON DIRECT-TV 1PM TO 2PM ME TV, GREAT SHOWS AND I MISS THOSE ACTORS, MATT, KITTY, CHESTER, FESTUS, DOC, NEWLY IS THE ONLY 1 LEFT NOW, THE GOOD OLE DAYS, THERE GONE BUT NOT FORGOTTEN. 👋👋👋👋👋👋👋👋👋👋👋👋👋👋👋

At a western film festival in Sonora, CA. I saw Him behind a table with a bunch of his great watercolors displayed. No one was talking to him so I went up an said, Hello, Buck”. He said, “Hello. Have we met?”. I told him, no, but I see him every day a six in the morning after work on Gunsmoke. He was a very nice guy just like you see here.

What a gracious man. Loved him in Gunsmoke!

Thank you, Buck Taylor. It was a pleasure listening to your interview. God Bless

Appreciate this, awesome presentation. I was 44 years old before I actually cowboyed. Helping 2 neighbors. Proudest when I turned the herd at 46 years old!

the guy interviewing Buck Taylor, has never sat through a single Gunsmoke episode, or he would have been thrilled to be there with Buck!!

As many movies as I've seen him in, I've never seen him as the star in any of em. He always was happy to be just one of the actors. Very humble man, and a very good actor in any role he ever played in.

Great interview, a lot of interviewers talk over their guests or don't let them finish a thought. This guy did a great job. Thanks

I met Buck the day he was at Penn Square mall, and asked him if James Arness’ leg ever gave him grief while on set, as you can see at times he was favoring it. Buck got agitated, and then stood up and said he was a hell of a man!! I said I know it, you all were! I was trying to get my son, who was with me, to see that a man who had his leg blown apart in Italy in WWII didn’t let it get in his way, but Buck didn’t know that. I’ve regretted not sending him a letter explaining my question, but I reckon it doesn’t really matter.

"Class"....so easy to spot, God Bless Mr. Taylor!

What a nice man Buck seems to be and his manner leaves no doubt as to his genuine humility. Salute, Mr. Taylor. Also, kudos to the interviewer. One of the better interviews I've ever seen. He asked proper questions, contributed only what he needed to, and allowed the interviewee to talk. Give Mr. Morris a raise.

Wonderful Buck Taylor! Love his artwork. Love his memories. Love the memories he left us with from Gunsmoke. Continued success to a class act! 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏 I begin and end my day with Ken Curtis and Buck Taylor videos. Perfectly wonderful listening for music and great interviews.

I always wanted to meet Buck Taylor, he seems like such a genuine man, a real cowboy and just a great guy! God Bless you sir and thanks for being a hero!

Just watched this wonderful interview. Thanks for the simple pleasure....

Have spoken to Mr.Taylor several times,bought some of his art, great actor, great artist, and mos of all a very humble & gracious person,God bless you,happy trails .

Newly got married once. What an episode. Doc also had a lover and it too stands the test of time.

Buck's a fine actor. Always enjoyed him on Gunsmoke and in other movies as well.

I loved watching his dad Dub, what a great character actor he was...

Newly was a friend part and everyone was won over by buck's part. What a story he has and memories he must have..

He is the most soft spoken actor I ever saw

Hands down greatest TV western all time and it still holds up 40 years later. Great casting, writing and directing and my opinion the older episodes were the best. Thank you Mr. Taylor for your contribution.

I met Buck Taylor when he came to Quincy, IL. He is a very nice man and takes time to visit with people. I still have the pictures of Matt and Miss Kitty. God bless you and your family.

Buck, you were among the best. Your character was great as Newley, an honest, strong on law and a good deputy and gun-smith. Good job my fellow American.

Buck Taylor-- the epitome of the American '' cowboy ''.

Great actor fit the Gunsmoke group very well

Dub Taylor- a name so well known in cowboy shows n movies . Buck Taylor a man who got to live n work like his father earning the credits of his own as an actor and star in many super tv shows n movies. Just made all the best out of the rest. We all see the bit part actors and love what they add.

Buck Taylor...A true legend and hero!

The interviewer should have researched Buck Taylor's background because he could have brought up the fact that Taylor's father was Dub "Cannonball" Taylor of the B western. Taylor makes mention of "You Can't Take It With You" but nothing of his father's days as a cowboy sidekick.

I did not know until a couple of years ago that Buck Taylor is the son of famed character cater Dub Taylor. The last time I saw Dub Taylor was in an episode of the Cosby Show. I saw Buck Taylor most recently about 4 yrs ago in a Lifetime Movie mystery.

I recall the "funny little man" with the odd voice, Dub Taylor. He was a character actor in many westerns, lots of TV just like so many of the more familiar faces you see on Gunsmoke. They made a living at it if they could get small parts regularly a lot...maybe that is why Buck here got the Gunsmoke gig...biggest break he ever got. I read where he and Curtis (festus) were determined to be actors...easy money for character actor but without GS they would have had to both paint pictures (as Buck here did, go around opening up casinos, etc.) Arness said they were "nice guys."

He was a well known actor in Gunsmoke... BEST 2 .U.👍

@DavidMorris at 10:10 Buck nails it about _Why are Cowboys still looked up to today._ They were heroes, and great Role Models for us kids in the 50's and 60's, who taught us on film, how to be Good, Honest, and to Work Hard, if we wanted to be successful in life. 👍👍

Buck one of last links to that wonderful era and a fine artist as well.

BUCK TAYLOR, AS NEWLY, ON GUNSMOKE, WAS SO ENDEARING AND SUCH A GENTLEMAN, ON THE SHOW. I LOVED HIS CHARACTER AND HE SEEMED TO GET ALONG WITH ALL THE OTHER CHARACTERS. LOVED NEWLY, SO HANDSOME AND GENUINE.

Buck, Has Done it All Super Neat Guy!

Famous lines in the motorcycle movies of the 60's...."GET ON"....

Bucks portrayal of Newly was Epic.

Happy Birthday Buck! 5 13 21

Great actor, horsemen and roper

I met mr. buck taylor he is a real cool dude

I'd love to see Buck have a role on Yellowstone! He'd be great for any part.

I'm a huge Gunsmoke fan, still watch the old reruns I've seen many times before. Buck Taylor was great as Newly O'Brien. His dad, Dub Taylor was also in several episodes, a great character actor.

You Can't Take It With You is a great film!

Such a fine man.

It’s been a longtime since gunsmoke went off. Besides h8m, is anyone else still alive?

Buck was also in a Twilight Zone episode ... _Do Not Open Till Doomsday._

I met Buck Taylor when I was in Los Angeles. I was living in downtown LA and I was working out in Hollywood. I was doing set design for commercials. Down off of Sunset and Vine there was a McDonald's that I used to go to. On my off time I would do artwork. I always like doing portraits because I can bring a lot of emotion into my work. One evening after I just got done eating Buck Taylor walked in whith a young man not for sure exactly who that person was maybe grandson or his son. I walked over and I said "Excuse me sir sorry to bother you but I was wondering if I could get your autograph. It would mean an awful lot to my mom since her birthday was coming up and I wanted to send it to her". He took a napkin and he signed the napkin Tom Mix. I said "You're not Tom Mix", and he replied "You know who I am and that I signed this for you, that's the important thing."

Love Gunsmoke. Second favorite western. Best was Wild Wild West.

We all love old newly

dunno when this was, but Newly looks in good health-

never be another newly

Always liked Newly, he was a great character on the show.

Gunsmoke writers made a blunder when they killed off a character named Enoch Miller played by Tom Garden in an episode called "A Man a Day". Then 1 or 2 years later Enoch was alive being played by character actor Frank Ferguson.

Buck was great gunsmoke the best western ever made

Buck is a great painter

I live the TV show.

I loved gunsmoke. ...When I was about 12or 13 Me and my parents were going to the annual event here in Memphis,TN .Well my parents told me that if I wanted to could go to see the rodeo and that to make sure that I meet them back at the same place that we were parting from.Wellwe split up and went into the rodeo,at the Coliseiem.Which is just a delapidating bunch of concrete.But anyway I was trying to find my entrance to the rodeo and I kept walking down hallway.And and all of sudden I started hearing these kids screaming this: Festus hey festus here sign my tablet festus. And kept trying to get them to get back from this bannister,because they kept leaning out there arms trying to get festus to give them his autograph .He had to keep telling them in his you know twangy voice "y'all get back now ,you here y'all get back now you here To this day I don't think they ever backed off any But thank God there was injuries .What a great time I had. And all by myself to. I told my father that I saw Festus Hagen and he said "you did "he acted like darn I wish I had gone with you woody.thank you and end of this very memorable moment.

Newly shoulda been given a show

One hell of a actor Sam Elliott requested him for Gettysburg and the rough riders

should have cut in a pic of dub taylor when you mentioned his dad dub taylor

The Rest is GunSmoke history. 😁

What two movies did Buck do with Sam Elliott and Tom Beringer

Still a handsome man

Modern tv is terrible. If CBS had any sense they'd bring back classic shows like Gunsmoke.

❤️❤️❤️ U Newly

I thought the Newly character was a great fit for the ensemble cast on "Gunsmoke"--a very likable and valuable member of the group around Marshal Dillon. In fact, I thought he was a step up from the more low-intelligence and comic foil sidekicks that dominated in most seasons of the show. Chester was a decent and devoted guy but portrayed as rather dense and silly much of the time. Festus was played too over-the-top, in my view--the excessive hick drawl and rambling brainless speechifying served to dumb down the sidekick character, although in tough situations Festus was up for serious battle and more than carried his load. I wish the series had featured more characters like Newly, Thad and Quint. Those characters had shorter runs on the show but were important to the cast dynamic.

What's with this goofy outfit is he wearing those toy guns with caps..nonsense.

Wished they would have asked him more questions about what it was like working with James Arness as well as Ken Curtis and Milburn Stone .
