Born in Houston, Texas just prior to the beginning of the Great Depression, Ray Stricklyn felt the urge to perform from his earliest years. From stage roles in his hometown, to parts in regional theater and Broadway, Ray made the jump from the stage to acting on both the large and small screens with some of the biggest names in the business, including Gary Cooper, Debbie Reynolds, Clifton Webb, Geraldine Page, Paul Newman, Ida Lupino, and many, many others. However, turning his talents in a different direction during the 1970s, Ray became one of the most influential publicists in Hollywood through his work with some of the biggest names in the world of entertainment. The urge to act never left and Ray made his triumphant return to the stage to become "the most award-honored L.A. stage actor of the 1980s". Among others, he was twice named Best Actor of the Year by the Los Angeles Drama Critics Circle, and twice nominated for a Golden Globe for acting. Ray has guest-starred in a number of the top television series since his return, however it was his now- legendary performance as Tennessee Williams in "Confessions of a Nightingale", which received national acclaim with his performances in Los Angeles, New York, and other major cities across North America.

One of the more prolific American directors, Ray Taylor was a Midwesterner who began his show-business career as an actor and stage manager in regional theater, a career that was interrupted by army service in World War I. After his discharge he ventured to Hollywood, where he got a job with Fox Films and worked as an assistant director, often with John Ford. In the 1920s Taylor traveled crosstown to Universal Pictures, where he got the opportunity to become a director, initially of one- and two-reelers. His proficiency in that niche impressed Universal execs enough to promote him to features and serials. When talkies made their debut, Taylor--unlike many of his silent-era colleagues--had no trouble adapting to the techniques of sound films, and in fact his career went on the fast track. Universal put him in the director's chair on many of its top western series and eventually placed him at the helm of one of its most popular and fondly remembered serials, "Flash Gordon." However, due to a worsening drinking problem his work by the late 1930s and early 1940s was often erratic. Director William Witney said he got his first co-directing credit--on the Republic serial The Painted Stallion (1937)--because Taylor had gotten so drunk by lunchtime one day about halfway through filming that he had to be taken home. Witney was called upon to replace him and finish the picture. Taylor was teamed up with the equally prolific, but more reliable, Ford Beebe during his last years at Universal. When the serial genre began to die out Taylor went back to making westerns, and was eventually hired by Producers Releasing Corp. (PRC) to try to give a professional veneer to its low-grade western series starring erstwhile "cowboy" Lash La Rue. When the series and its star left low-rent PRC for Ron Ormond's even lower-rent Western Adventure Productions, Taylor went with them. However, the series' rock-bottom budgets, tenth-rate scripts and the stupefying ineptness of its star stymied whatever efforts Taylor made to breathe some life into them, and these entries can hardly be counted among his better efforts. Taylor retired from the business in 1949 and died in 1952.
Most familiar to TV audiences as no-nonsense Sheriff Roy Coffee on the long-running western series Bonanza (1959), Ray Teal was one of the most versatile character actors in the business. In his almost 40-year career he played everything from cops to gunfighters to sheriffs to gangsters to a judge at the Nuremberg War Crimes trials. He could play a kindly grandfather in one film and a heartless, sadistic killer in the next, and be equally believable in both roles. A native of Grand Rapids, Michigan, he was a musician who worked his way through college playing the sax in local bands. At UCLA in the 1920s he formed his own band and led it until 1936. He appeared in several films in minor bit parts, and it wasn't until 1938 that he had a somewhat more substantial part, in Western Jamboree (1938). The next year he had a bigger part in the splashy Spencer Tracy adventure 'Northwest Passage' (Book I -- Rogers' Rangers) (1940) as one of Rogers' Rangers. He appeared in serials, westerns, crime dramas, costume epics (he even appeared as Little John in The Bandit of Sherwood Forest (1946)!), war pictures, had a small but memorable part as an anti-Semitic blowhard who gets knocked into a store display by Dana Andrews in The Best Years of Our Lives (1946) and a bigger and more memorable part as one of Spencer Tracy's fellow judges in Judgment at Nuremberg (1961). He also made many appearances on TV, in everything from The Lone Ranger (1949) to Green Acres (1965). He died of natural causes in 1976.
