Noah Beery, Jr.
Film/Rodeo Star
1913-1994
Probably best known as the affable father of James Garner on the Rockford Files, Noah Beery, Jr. was a familiar and well-liked character actor of very different persona than either his father Noah Beery or his uncle Wallace Beery. At age 19 he began playing amicable second leads and occasional leading roles, primarily Westerns, before settling into what would be the pattern for much of his career, of good-natured supporting roles, usually as a pal of a hero. He kept these likeable roles well into his late seventies, transforming slowly into warm rustic sages. He also kept the Beery tradition of acting alive for another generation by marrying the daughter of cowboy star Buck Jones.
