Biography
Carolina-based actor/writer/producer George "Buck" Flower started out in "regionals"--non-Hollywood productions aimed at Southern neighborhood moviehouses and drive-ins. Flower also showed up in "four-wallers" for the family-matinee trade: he was seen as Boomer in all three
Wilderness Family flicks of the late 1970s-early 1980s. Additional appearances include the Cook in
John Carpenter's
Starman (1984), the title character's father in
Alan Parker's
Birdy (1984), and "Nuke" LaLoosh's dad in
Ron Shelton's
Bull Durham (1988). The bulk of George "Buck" Flowers' work can be found in such low-budget esoterica as
Sorority Babes in the Slimeball Bowl-o-Rama (1987). ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
