He was also known as Colonel T.J. McCoy. The son of an Irishman who was a Union Civil War soldier, and who later became police chief in Saginaw, Michigan, McCoy became a film star most noted for his roles in B-grade Western films. He was so popular with youngsters as a cowboy star that he appeared on the cover of Wheaties cereal boxes. .
