Richard Percy Jones


 Richard Percy Jones, known as Dick Jones or Dickie Jones (February 25, 1927 – July 7, 2014)

He achieved some success as a child actor and as a young adult, especially in B-Westerns and television. In 1938 he played Artimer "Artie" Peters, nephew of Buck Peters in the Hopalong Cassidy movie The Frontiersman. He may be best-known as the voice of Pinocchio in the 1940 Walt Disney film Pinocchio. He appeared in a 1950 episode of the TV series The Lone Ranger titled "Man Without a Gun". Also, in 1950, he played a memorable role as the 16-year-old cook of a small Confederate Army unit in Rocky Mountain starring alongside many veteran actors including Errol Flynn. Gene Autry gave Jones his own series, Buffalo Bill, Jr. (1955), which ran for forty-two episodes in syndication. Through his work in Western feature films and Western TV series from the 1930s through the 1950s, Jones became a fixture at the Iverson Movie Ranch, considered the most heavily filmed outdoor shooting location in Hollywood history. Jones died as a result of a fall in his home at age 87.
