George 'Buck' Flower

Biography

George Buck Flower was an American actor, writer and producer who also worked as an assistant director, production manager and casting director. His career started in the 1970s, when he took roles in erotic, exploitation and horror productions. Among them were Drive-In Massacre (1976), Criminally Insane (1975), The Daring Dobermans (1973) and Satan's Lust (1971). His gruff appearance led him to be cast often as drunks or homeless men. John Carpenter hired him for a supporting part in The Fog (1980) and later for small roles in Starman (1984), Body Bags (1993), They Live (1988), Escape from New York (1981) and Village of the Damned (1995). In Back to the Future (1985) he took the part of Red the Bum, and he reprised it for Back to the Future Part II (1989). He died in 2004.
