Tom Tyler Career

Early film career

Tyler was born in California and spent time in film as a prop man and extra in 1924. He made his first screen appearances as an extra (1924), Leatherstocking (1924), and Wild Horse Mesa (1925). Tyler was recruited by Film Booking Offices of America (FBO) in 1925 to star in a string of western adventures with a starting salary of about $75 per week. In Let's Go, Gallagher (1925), his first film appearance was in Let's Go, Gallagher (1925). He appeared in 28 other westerns for FBO, including The Masquerade Bandit (1926), The Sonora Kid (1928), and Pride of the Pawnee (1929). Although romance was generally underplayed in these early westerns, a number of up-and-coming heroines, including Doris Hill, Jean Arthur, and Nora Lane, contributed to Tyler's films' overall success, which attracted critical praise and were popular with Saturday matinee audiences. His four years with FBO gave him valuable riding and acting skills, making him a well-known cowboy hero in the late 1960s.

Tyler worked with Syndicate Pictures in 1929 and 1930, including The Man from Nevada (1929), Pioneers of the West (1929), and Call of the Desert (1930). Tyler was loaned out to Mascot Pictures for his first "all talking" sound film, The Phantom of the West, a ten-chapter cliffhanger with a mysterious unknown villain and a slew of stunts and action sequences in 1930. In the more difficult scenes, Tyler's stunt double, Ken Maynard, was the brother of Ken Maynard. Despite his awkward delivery of lines, Tyler made his first Syndicate sound film, West of Cheyenne, which showcased his excellent voice for westerns. Tyler came to an end with Syndicate Pictures (1931) and God's Country and the Man (1931). He was also considered by MGM for the role of Tarzan in their Tarzan the Ape Man (1932) a film.
