Hal Taliaferro

Biography

Hal Taliaferro was an American screen actor whose work centered on westerns. Born Floyd Taliaferro Alderson in Sheridan, Wyoming, and raised in Montana, he had been a wrangler at Universal's ranch before serving in the army in France during the Great War. After the war he entered films and, under the name Wally Wales, starred in many silent westerns, appearing in twenty-two silent films from 1921 to 1928. He moved successfully to sound pictures in 1929, but his star gradually declined and he was given smaller roles, usually billed as Hal Taliaferro. Across a career from 1921 to 1964, he accumulated over 220 film appearances. He left film work in the early 1950s and died in 1980.
