Mervyn Johns


Mervyn Johns Profile Photo
Actor

Father of actress Glynis Johns, who appeared with him in The Halfway House (1944) and The Sundowners (1960). Stocky, benevolent-looking Welsh character who became an unexpected star of British movies during WWII, then moved quickly into post-war supports, with one of his fondly-remembered parts being that of the cowering "Bob Cratchit" to Alastair Sim's cold-hearted "Ebenezer Scrooge" in the definitive film version of A Christmas Carol (1951).

Place of Birth: Pembroke, Wales, UK

Date of Birth: Feb 18, 1899

Date of Death: Sep 6, 1992
