He worked briefly as a film extra in The Thief of Bagdad (1924) and East of Suez. In the 1920s he lived in southern California, where he operated a hot-dog stand and was befriended by Douglas Fairbanks. By the age of 10, he was playing the guitar in two techniques, which he described as "frailing" and "picking". Growing up, he worked at numerous jobs: grazing cows for ten cents a day working in a barrel factory, a broom factory, and a rock quarry working on a railroad and for a streetcar company shining shoes and even peddling hand-carved wooden snakes. He was sent by his mother to live with foster parents when he was a young child, in a rural setting where he was badly mistreated.
Fuller was born in Jonesboro, Georgia, near Atlanta.
