Biography

John Salew was born on February 28, 1902 in Portsmouth, Hampshire, England, UK. He was an actor, known for Time Flies (1944), Kind Hearts and Coronets (1949) and I See a Dark Stranger (1946). He died on September 14, 1961 in London, England, UK.

Stocky British character actor, with theatrical experience. Bald from an early age, he was an equally adaptable purveyor of subtle menace, amiability or of mild-mannered ineffectuality. Increasingly gained weight in his later years, but remained in demand in both films and TV until his death from a heart attack in 1961.
