Married... With Children Actors You May Not Know Passed Away

Buck is the Bundys' dog whose cynicism and unhappiness, as voiced by several talented producers, mirrors his family's. Beloved enough to garner mention in an LA Times article about TV's top dogs, Buck Bundy fills out the bedraggled family to a T. On the show, Buck looks like a shaggy mutt, but in reality, the dog was played by a pedigreed Briard, originally born Mike, though he was renamed Buck after his adoption by trainer Steven Ritt. Aside from "Married... with Children," Buck appeared in a Janet Jackson video and the Bill Murray film "Scrooged."

By Season 10, Buck was having trouble identifying his cues and signals, according to "The Complete Married with Children Book." Buck's last episode was "Requiem for a Dead Briard," where the Bundy pup dies and goes to heaven. The episode ends with a title card reading "Dedicated to Buck the dog, who with this episode begins a well-deserved retirement and hopefully a nice gig at stud."

The dog died for real on May 28, 1996, less than a year after his retirement and a long run on a hit show.
