Guinn Terrell Williams Jr. (April 26, 1899 – June 6, 1962) was an American actor who appeared in memorable westerns such as Dodge City (1939), Santa Fe Trail (1940), and The Comancheros (1961). He was nicknamed "Big Boy" as he was 6' 2" and had a muscular build from years of working on ranches and playing semi-pro and professional baseball.
Biography
Williams made his screen debut in the 1919 comedy, Almost A Husband, with Will Rogers and Cullen Landis, and was featured in a large supporting role ten years later in Frank Borzage's Lucky Star with Janet Gaynor and Charles Farrell. Throughout the 1920s Williams would have a string of successful films, mostly westerns.
He then appeared in The Great Meadow alongside Johnny Mack Brown, which was Brown's breakout film. Throughout the 1930s, Williams acted in supporting roles, mostly in westerns, sports, or outdoor dramas. Although not the lead actor in any of them, he was always employed, and was successful as a supporting actor. He often played alongside Hoot Gibson and Harry Carey during that period. In 1941, he became one of many actors cast by Universal Pictures in their large film series, Riders of Death Valley. From the late 1930s to the mid-1940s, Williams appeared in supporting roles in a number of A-pictures, sometimes with high billing, such as You Only Live Once, and in Columbia's first Technicolour film The Desperadoes (1943).
Guinn Big Boy Williams. They called him 'BIG BOY' and for good reason - he was big. Famous cowboy humorist Will Rogers is alleged to have put this tab on the big strapping youth from Texas named Guinn Williams, who called himself 'Tex' when he met him on the set of Rogers' ALMOST A HUSBAND in 1919 where Williams had a bit part. His last film role was in The Comancheros (1961) starring John Wayne and Stuart Whitman. Williams died from uremic poisoning which in very non-medical terms is the result of renal/kidney failure.

Por que me dijiste que me amabas, baby Me hicistes creer que yo era para ti, oh Y ahora verte me haces llorar Por que tengo que renunciar a ti si yo te AMO Donde esta el amor, amor Que guardabas tu por mi? Donde esta el amor, amor Preguntale a tu corazon Solo explicame, hablame dame una razón importante Por la cual yo tengo que olvidarte Explicame, hablame por que cambiaste Por que las cosas ya no son como antes De un tiempo para aca he notado algo extraño en ti Sinceramente no eres la persona que conoci Algo debes ocultarme y no quieres hablarme Tal vez por el miedo a lastimarme Y no llores por favor manten la calma Solo quiero escucharte aunque me destrozes el alma Ya se por que en las noches cuando yo te besaba Volteabas tu cara y me ignorabas Te notaba tan fria, tan callada como si nada Mientras mi miedo de perderte aumentaba Y no me tienes que pedir que te perdone Si la verdad se muere en nuestros corazones Donde esta el amor, amor Que guardabas tu por mi? Donde esta el amor, amor Preguntale a tu corazon Nunca imagine que esto me iba a pasar a mi Por que a mi Si yo fui sincero siempre te comprendi y nunca Nunca te menti Yo dormia contigo, me levantaba contigo Ademas de ser tu hombre, tambien era tu amigo Era tu refugio, tu apoyo, tu verdad Tu fuiste mi sueño hecho realidad Y de repente te me escapas de mi corazón Por que razon, dime por que razon Donde quedo el tiempo que pasamos Dime por favor, dime donde esta el amor? Solo explicame, hablame dame una razon importante Por la cual yo tengo que olvidarte Explicame, hablame por que cambiaste Por que las cosas ya no son como antes Donde esta el amor Todo el amor que guardabas tu por mi Cuando estaba en ti Preguntale eso a tu corazon Donde esta el amor Donde esta el amor Preguntale eso a tu corazon
