Got himself noticed playing Steve McQueen's younger brother in "The Junior Bonner (1972)", and then scored the lead role of Buford Pusser (!) in the unexpected hit "Walking Tall (1973)", an allegedly true tale about a Southern sheriff confronting corruption & gangsters with a large wooden club and a mean attitude. Followed it up by playing a sadistic hit man called Molly, in Don Siegel's bank heist drama "Charley Varrick (1973)". Joe Don Baker's next few films were rather forgettable until he landed the role of police detective Earl Eischied in "To Kill a Cop (1978) (TV)"....which led him into reprising the same character in the short lived TV series "Eischied" (1979)". Since then he has proved he is also quite adept at taking on comedy roles, as well as picking up plenty of work playing lawmen, military men, politicians etc. Keep your eye open for him as a nosy police chief in "Fletch (1985)", a meglomanical general in "Living Daylights (1987)", as a redneck father in "Mars Attacks! (1996)", and as intelligence operative Jack Wade in the 007 films "Tomorrow Never Dies (1997)" and "GoldenEye (1995)". hide |
