He was nominated for an Oscar along with Howard Lydecker, William Bradford and Herbert Norsch in 1941 for Best Effects, Special Effects in the film Women in War.

Biography

Au cinéma, où il débute comme technicien des effets visuels (occasionnellement cadreur), Bud Thackery contribue ainsi à une trentaine de films américains, dont Les Temps modernes de Charlie Chaplin (1936) et L'Homme tranquille de John Ford (1952).

Sa collaboration à Women in War de John H. Auer (1940) lui vaut une nomination en 1941 à l'Oscar des meilleurs effets visuels (qu'il ne gagne pas).

Comme directeur de la phographie, pour le grand écran, il œuvre d'abord au sein de Republic Pictures sur des films américains de série B, dont de nombreux serials et westerns, depuis The Gay Vagabond de William Morgan (1941, avec Roscoe Karns et Ruth Donnelly) jusqu'à Accused of Murder de Joseph Kane (1956, avec David Brian et Vera Ralston).

Mentionnons également le western Sunset Serenade de Joseph Kane (1942, avec Roy Rogers et Gabby Hayes), le serial Zorro's Black Whip de Spencer Gordon Bennet et Wallace Grissell (1944, avec Linda Stirling et George J. Lewis) et le drame La Femme du hasard d'Edward Ludwig (1956, avec Yvonne De Carlo et Howard Duff).

Puis il est chef opérateur à partir de 1963 pour Universal Pictures, le dernier de ses quatre-vingt-dix-huit films américains à ce poste étant Un shérif à New York de Don Siegel (1968, avec Clint Eastwood et Susan Clark).

À la télévision, Bud Thackery contribue comme directeur de la photographie à cinquante-deux séries (souvent là aussi dans le domaine du western), la première étant Histoires du siècle dernier (trente-quatre épisodes, 1954-1955). Suivent notamment La Grande Caravane (dix-neuf épisodes, 1957-1964) et L'Homme de fer (cent-soixante-six épisodes, 1968-1975).

Sa dernière série, après laquelle il se retire, est Emergency! (cinquante-et-un épisodes, 1972-1977).

Il dirige aussi les prises de vues de dix-sept téléfilms diffusés entre 1960 et 1976, dont Nightmare in Chicago de Robert Altman (1964, avec Andrew Duggan et Charles McGraw) et L'Affaire d'un tueur de William Hale (1967, avec Robert Wagner et Peter Lawford).
