Tom TylerFrom Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tom_Tyler (9/19/2007)Tom Tyler (nee Vincent Markowski) (August 9, 1903 _ May 1, 1954) was an American actor. He was born into a Polish-American family.Tyler had a long career in film, stretching from the 1920s to the 1950s, and appeared in many films, most of them westerns such as John Ford's Stagecoach and She Wore a Yellow Ribbon. He occasionally took "civilian" roles in feature films (he's the boxing referee in Abbott and Costello''s Buck Privates), but the biggest part of Tyler's screen career was spent making B-movie westerns on very low budgets.Tyler was beset by rheumatoid arthritis in the later part of his career, and was limited to occasional supporting roles. Nearly destitute, he returned to live with his sister in the Detroit area, dying there of heart failure at the age of 50 in 1954.
