Bill Cody (actor)

Bill Cody, born William Joseph Cody Jr., was a Hollywood Bwestern actor of the 1920s, 1930s and into the 1940s, and father to Bill Cody, Jr..

Following the Independent Pictures series, Cody starred in two films for Associated Exhibitors, The Galloping Cowboy and King of the Saddle, both released in 1926. That same year he starred in Arizona Whirlwind released through Path. In 1927 he starred in Born to Battle, which gave him an opportunity to exhibit his horse riding skills and to use a bull whip on screen, and two more Bill Cody Productions boasting stories supposedly concocted by Cody himself Gold From Weepah and Laddie, Be Good. Agile and pleasant in appearance, Cody ended his silent film career by starring in a group of action pictures released by Universal which temporarily removed him from the western milieu The Price of Fear, Wolves of the City, The TipOff, Slim Fingers and Eyes of the Underworld.
