MINI BIO:

Pat Buttram appeared in over 70 film and TV roles but is best known for his roles as Gene Autry's sidekick in over 40 films and 100 TV episodes -- and his role as the gravel-voiced, farmer-turned-salesman (or shall we say con man?), Mr. Haney on the hit TV sitcom Green Acres (1965-1971, CBS).

Buttram also did voice work for several Disney animated features, including The Aristocats (as Napoleon the hound dog), Robin Hood (as the Sheriff of Nottingham, a wolf), The Fox and the Hound (Chief, the hunting dog) and The Rescuers (Luke, the swamp inhabitant).

Pat Buttram Facts
Was a guest at the 1980 Memphis Film Festival.

Joined WLS and the National Barn Dance in 1934. His dry wit and humor would allow him to spin all sorts of stories about his kin folk from down south. One of his self-appointed duties was to step on stage, snap his suspenders and announce to the audience that "...you can dance in the aisles and tear up the place if you want to - it don't belong to us!".

He replaced Smiley Burnette as Gene Autry's sidekick during the 1940s. Later, they both worked on Paul Henning's Hooterville franchise ("Petticoat Junction" (1963) & "Green Acres" (1965)).
