Cypress Sun Posted May 15 Posted May 15 I just saw heard this on the news. Although he played many tough guy roles, and some not so tough guys, I'll always remember him for his portrayal of Sheriff Buford Pusser in Walking Tall. For me, Walking Tall is one of those movies that I'll watch in it's entirety if I see it's playing on tv. Thanks for all of the excitement and entertainment over all of the years. RIP Mr. Baker 3 Quote
