Biography

A talented dancer and a gifted comedian, Wally Vernon began his show business career at the age of three and amassed an impressive resume of ninety-five film and TV appearances. However, despite this extensive body of work, he never achieved major starring roles in high-profile films. Apart from Henry King's charming Alexander's Ragtime Band (1938), no prominent director cast him in a leading part. This is unfortunate, as Vernon was a remarkable and quirky dancer in the style of Donald O'Connor, whose energetic performances would have enriched many classic musicals. Additionally, his knack for delivering Runyon-style dialogue would have been a great asset in screwball comedies by directors like Frank Capra, George Cukor, or Howard Hawks. Instead, Vernon often played the comic sidekick to Don 'Red' Barry in a string of low-budget westerns or appeared as a stooge alongside Eddie Quillan in numerous modestly entertaining Columbia shorts. It was only on television that Vernon's unique talents gained proper recognition, as he became a regular cast member on the series Damon Runyon Theater.
