* 9.4.1903 Denver, CO -  † 1960

He was a football player for the University of Southern California when John Ford selected him and fellow player John Wayne to appear in an Annapolis film, SALUTE (1929). A three-way friendship developed between the director and the two young actors, who were cast as sidekicks in many of his films. Big and muscular, Bond appeared in supporting roles in some 200 films, sometimes as a brutal heavy, more often as a rugged but kindhearted lawman or friend of the hero. He also played the starring role of the wagon master in the popular TV series "Wagon Train."
