Amiable and exceptional character actor Billy Green Bush appeared in a handful of offbeat and enduring cult classic features made in the early '70s. Tall, handsome and rangy, Bush often portrayed engaging good ol' boy types, rugged cowboys and stern police officers. He was born as William Warren Bush in 1935. Billy was terrific as lazy hillbilly oil rig worker Elton in Bob Rafelson's wonderful Mi vida es mi vida (1970). He was likewise excellent as cop Robert Blake's affably dimwitted partner Zipper in the splendid Electra Glide in Blue (1973). Bush gave another outstanding performance as tough-as-nails trail boss Frank Culpepper in the superbly gritty Western Donde se forjan los hombres (1972). Other memorable roles include a hard-nosed sheriff in Welcome Home Soldier Boys (1971), no-nonsense Warden Earl Gulliver in the powerful made-for-TV movie La carrera final (1979), gruff state trooper Donner in Hitcher, el asesino de la carretera (1986), and resolute farmer Jay Brown in the immensely enjoyable creature feature Extrañas criaturas (1986). Among the TV shows Bush has done guest spots on are El precio del deber (1981), El equipo A (1983), CHiPs (1977), El hombre increíble (1977), Los Dukes de Hazzard (1979), Starsky y Hutch (1975), Baretta (1975), M.A.S.H. (1972), La ley del revólver (1955), Banyon (1971), Bonanza (1959), Rumbo a lo desconocido (1963), and Renegado (1992). Bush also played the sheriff in the ninth installment of the slasher series, 'Friday the 13th', entitled El infierno de Jason (1993). He has since retired from acting. Billy is the father of actor Clay Greenbush and twin actresses Sidney Greenbush and Rachel Lindsay Greenbush.
