Former rodeo performer Frank McCarroll made his first film, Big Calibre, in 1935. From that point onward, until his retirement in 1951, McCarroll appeared in nothing but westerns. He played dozens of small roles as gunmen, posse leaders and the like, and also served as stunt double for some of the biggest stars in the shoot-'em-up genre. Ironically, Frank McCarroll died in an accidental fall in his own home.
