Lester F. Scott Jr.
(1892 - 1958)
Full name: Lester Fremont Scott, Jr.
Photo right is of Scott circa 1922.

Lester Fremont Scott, Jr. was born March 14, 1892 in Los Angeles to Lester Fremont Scott, Sr. and Carrie Betts. Father Lester was a busy and respected real estate developer, broker, and mining engineer and involved in several mining ventures in the 1910s - 1920s.

Newspapers and trade publications from 1915 - 1916 have Scott as an assistant director with the Lasky Film company; assistant to director Francis J. Grandon at Mutual; and assistant to director Oscar Apfel at Fox. In 1916, he married actress Irene Hunt (real name: Irene A. Murtaugh), and there was a messy divorce in February, 1920 (with Scott admitting that he was the cause of the breakup). In the 1920s, he was doing sales and distribution for producer Bert Lubin, and later, for C. C. Burr.

Striking out on his own in early 1924, he formed the independent Approved Pictures Corporation which quickly became Action Pictures, Inc., and Scott hired three real westerners as cowboy movie heroes ... and all three got name changes to improve saleability of their cinema adventures:

Kenneth Stanhope Sanderson became "Buddy Roosevelt".
Wilbert Jay Wilsey became "Buffalo Bill, Jr.".
