Acting Dangerously: Tom Tyler the stuntman

FBO, like other small film production outfits during the 1920's, had its stars performing dangerous stunts without the benefit of using professional stuntmen. With Tom Tyler being young, athletic and muscular, he could certainly pull off any stunts required of him in a film script.

Tom and his bevy of beauties

The average Tom Tyler western often conjures up visions of fistfights, physically demanding stuntwork performed by the star, and a gripping story line that involves cattle rustling and ranch ownership, but one concept not often thought about is a group of pretty girls: in plot terms, a bevy of beauties.

Tom Tyler in William Colt MacDonald's "Powdersmoke Range"

Sundown Saunders: A man who never breaks his word

Being a gun for hire is not always what it is cracked up to be, as the one Sundown Saunders is in “Powdersmoke Range”(1935). Maybe it is because Tom Tyler's role demands that he be vicious and unforgiving, acted in a dramatic manner but not too over the top. Sandwiched between “A Rider of the Plains” (1931) and “Stagecoach” (1939), “Powdersmoke Range” remains one of the top three of Tom's performances in a western, from that decade, if only because his role is essential to the plot's development. From the opening scene of the movie where the main players are seated in their acting chairs, to the climactic range war, Tom delivers the best performance in the movie, despite being up against some of the biggest names in B-westerns of the mid-1930's: Harry Carey, Hoot Gibson, Guinn “Big Boy” Williams, and Bob Steele.

Tom Tyler: The clean-cut hero

Profiled in Classic Images June 1984, Tom Tyler receives a favorable evaluation as a Hollywood leading man, but not just for his acting skills; his personality and lifestyle is described by writer George A. Katchmer as being a role model for American youth to aspire to. One notable aspect of this article, “Tom Tyler: clean cut hero”, combines Tom's real life background with studio composed biographies, embellished as it were, to make it seem like he had an exciting upbringing and an adventurous streak which made Tom fit in his FBO western hero-type roles perfectly.
