John Turner

The credits list John Turner as a British actor, though the record kept on his career is a modest one. Comedy is the recurring genre in the filmography. The workload is steady enough, if quiet: 25 credits. His work in 'Jeeves and Wooster' as Spode is the entry that stands out. 'The Power of One' is another title on the record. The career starts back in 1959.
