Personal Quote:

[explaining how he got the nickname "Wagon Wheel Joe"] I carried a box filled with different wagon wheels. Whenever I'd come to a scene which was just disgraceful in dialogue and all, I'd place a wagon wheel in one portion of the frame, and make an artistic shot out of it, so by the time the scene was over you only saw the artistic value and couldn't analyze what the scene was about.

Trivia:

He and his wife, Buena, had a daughter named Candy. See more »
