George 'Buck' Flower Movies or Tv Shows (upto Sep 2024) - Watch Online

There aren't many actors who can claim that they appeared in everything from innocuous family features to sexy soft-core smut to popular television programs to various horror, science fiction, and exploitation movies as well as worked behind-the-scenes on a slew of films in assorted production capacities throughout the course of their careers. The exceptionally talented and versatile George "Buck" Flower did all this and more during a remarkably busy, diverse, and impressive career that spanned 35 years and over a 100 movies as a character actor alone.Flower was born on October 28, 1937, in the Blue Mountains of Eastern Oregon. He enlisted in the army as a teenager and enrolled at Eastern Oregon College following his military service. Flower then moved to California and attended Pasadena City College. He soon became a member of the repertory theater group The Inspiration Players and stayed with the group for twelve years. The theater company toured Alaska and all 48 continental United States.Flower first started acting in movies in the early 1970s and initially established himself in the blithely lowbrow soft-core outings Country Cuzzins (1972), La Brute et la perverse (1971), and S... comme Sally (1973) for legendary trash flick filmmaker Harry H. Novak. Portly and grizzled, with a rumpled face, a scraggly beard, an engagingly rough-around-the-edges demeanor, and a deep, thick, heavy drawling rumble of a throaty voice, Flower was often cast as grubby bums, sloppy drunks, grouchy old guys, and scruffy rednecks. Among the notable directors Flower appeared in countless films for are Matt Cimber, Jim Wynorski, Don Edmonds (he's in the first two notoriously nasty "Ilsa" movies acting under the alias C.D. LaFleure), William Lustig, Bill Rebane, David DeCoteau, Bethel Buckalew, Jack Starrett, Nick Phillips, Anthony Hickox, and Fred Olen Ray. Flower achieved his greatest popularity with his terrific contributions to a handful of John Carpenter features: he's an ill-fated fisherman in Fog (1980); a bum in New-York 1997 (1981); a crusty cook in Starman (1984); excellent as the rags-to-riches bum Drifter in Invasion Los Angeles (1988); another bum in the "Unleaded" segment of the horror anthology Sacs à cadavres (1993); and a boozy high school janitor in Le village des damnés (1995).Flower's other memorable roles include the cantankerous forest-dwelling hermit Boomer in the "Wilderness Family" pictures, a detective in The Witch Who Came from the Sea (1976), a corrupt vice cop in The Candy Tangerine Man (1975), a machete-brandishing lunatic in Massacre au Drive-In (1976), an irascible old coot in Psycho Killer (1989), a senile janitor in Sorority Babes in the Slimeball Bowl-O-Rama (1988), the stern patriarch of a mountain family in Le démon d'Halloween (1988), a grouchy handyman in Poupées de chair (1988), a gregarious railroad worker in The Alpha Incident (1978), a homeless man on a park bench in Retour vers le futur (1985) (Flower reprised this part in the first sequel), an ill-kept hick in La vengeance aux tripes (1976), a peppery camp caretaker in Berserker (1987) and a hillbilly hunter in Skeeter (1993).
