John Rummel Hamilton

1.79 m

Upon Hamilton's death in 1958, Whitney Ellsworth, producer of Adventures of Superman (1952), considered giving the role of Daily Planet Editor Perry White to Pierre Watkin, who had played White in two Columbia serials, El supermán (1948) and Superman contra el hombre atómico (1950). However, the problem became moot when the series was abruptly canceled after the death of star George Reeves in 1959.

Best remembered as Perry White, the editor of The Daily Planet on Adventures of Superman (1952).

Trademark expression as Clark Kent's editor on "The Adventures of Superman": "Great Caesar's ghost!".

Like his fellow supporting player from the Adventures of Superman, Robert Shayne, he appeared in dozens of movie shorts throughout the 1930s, 1940s, and 1950s.

Interred at Hollywood Forever, Hollywood, Los Angeles County, California. Plot Unit 10 (West), Tier 3, Niche 637.
