Barnes Reeves Eason, better known by his screen name B. Reeves Eason Jr. (November 19, 1914 – October 25, 1921), was an American silent film child actor. Billed as "Master Breezy Reeves Jr." and "Universal's Littlest Cowboy", and later also known as Breezy Eason Jr., he was the son of motion picture director and actor B. Reeves Eason and his wife, the actress Jimsy Maye.
Eason was killed after being hit by a runaway truck outside of his parent's house shortly after the filming of the Harry Carey silent western The Fox (1921) had been completed. He was interred at Hollywood Forever Cemetery and was one of the first actors to be buried there.
