DICKIE JONES

Dickie Jones was an actor from the 1930s to the 1960s. He was the son of a Texas newspaper editor, and he was a prodigious horseman from infancy, billed at the age of four as the World's Youngest Trick Rider and Trick Roper. He made many western movies as a child, and in 1940, he gave voice to Pinocchio in the Walt Disney classic! As he entered his teen years, he drifted away from movies, but as a young adult, Gene Autry hired him to play the sidekick to "The Range Rider", and later in his own series, "Buffalo Bill, Jr.", and a few years after that, he retired from show business. He passed away in 2014 at the age of 87.
