The Best Red Carpet Photos

Born Sigsbee Maine Geary in Salt Lake City, Utah, on February 15, 1898, ace stuntman Bud Geary began appearing in films in 1920, and it wasn't long before the strapping (6'1"), athletic young man was strutting his stuff with such action players as Douglas Fairbanks in Robin Hood (1922) (in which Geary played Will Scarlett) and Buck Jones in The Arizona Romeo (1925). The coming of sound put the brakes on Geary's burgeoning acting career and he wound up playing a succession of henchmen, gangsters, cops and other bit parts until he hit his stride in a string of serials at Republic Pictures in 1939, and stayed there until 1946, as both an actor and stuntman. He doubled most of the studio's top western and action stars, in addition to freelancing at other studios. He gained a reputation as one of the industry's most fearless and inventive stunt men.

Bud Geary was killed in an automobile accident outside San Fernando, California, on Feb. 22, 1946, when his car left the road at a high rate of speed and rolled over.

He would sometimes play the main costumed villain in a serial unbilled,
and someone else&#39;s voice would be dubbed over his to hide the villain&#39;s
identity. In fact, he often played no other role in a serial.
