Mervyn Johns
Known for
Mervyn Johns is a screen veteran of the old school whose career has outlived most of the formats it was recorded on. The career has been split between cinema and television rather than settled in either. If one title has to stand in for the rest, it is 'Moby Dick'. Among the rest of the work, 'Scrooge' stands out. The trail of credits goes back as far as 1934.

Mervyn Johns
1899-02-17 · Pembroke, Pembrokeshire, Wales, UK
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).
