An American character actor described to some as a 'rugged outdoor
western/war type', proved to be Walter Barnes status in motion pictures
for nearly thirty years. A pro football player, Barnes made a mark into
playing roles in pictures with his performance in the 1959 film
"Westbound". Although, Barnes found work in countless foreign films of
the 1960s, he usually played roles ranging from crusty law officials to
occasional villains, in notable roles in "Captain Sinbad", John Wayne's
"Cahill US Marshal", Clint Eastwood's "High Plains Drifter", "Pete's
Dragon" and "Day of the Animals". Also as a veteran of television,
Barnes has had guest starring roles in such series including
"Gunsmoke", "Rawhide" and "Cheyenne". He also played Bo Svenson's
father on the early 80s TV series "Walking Tall" and appeared in the
1985-86 mini series "North and South". A diabetic, Barnes retired from
acting in the late 1980s and eventually moved into the Motion Picture
and Television Retirement Home in Woodland Hills, California, where he
passed away in January of 1998.
