- Ted King began his show business career at age 9, "shovling" lion, tiger and elephant dung for the Ringling Bros. Barnum & Bailley Circus. Finally, his hard work paid-off and he was selected to be Dopey of the Seven Dwarfs. Snow White, holding Dopey's hand, paraded the three-ring circus and got many laughs for his antics.
He later shoveled horse dung for the Rodeo of Rodeos, first with Gene Autry and Champion. Then, at age 10, in 1945, he met Dale Evans and Roy Rogers, and kept Trigger's stall clean. At the "urging" of his mother and the truant officer, Ted resumed his fourth grade studies. While in the 4th grade, he was cast in a principal role in the Eternal Way, a play that was performed by high school and college students in various school venues in the Pittsburgh, Pa. area.
Ted is currently preparing to launch into production of his own screenplay, "Tonight I Die". He is winding up financing for the $3 million project that will be filmed in Hollywood (SAG Contract). Even though Ted has produced a number of industrial films, this will be his first feature.
