Happy Birthday, Buck Taylor! It seems just yesterday you wandered into Dodge City as Newly O'Brien on Gunsmoke—riding tall in the saddle and becoming everyone's favorite deputy. Ever vigilant yet easygoing, your adventures alongside Marshal Dillon made every episode a cowboy classic!Through countless dusty towns (and equally dusty villains), you've remained timelessly cool—and that iconic mustache certainly deserves its own fan club by now! On this birthday of yours, we're tipping our hats to all those memories from showdowns at sunset to sage advice shared around Festus' coffee pot. Here's wishing another round-up filled with good laughs, warm friendships and endless rides under clear skies ahead!
