Full John Vernon Biography
John Vernon (February 24, 1932 - February 1, 2005) was a Canadian actor. He made a career in Hollywood after achieving initial television stardom in Canada.
Vernon was born Adolphus Raymondus Vernon Agopowicz in Zehner, Saskatchewan, and was baptised at the Sacred Heart Roman Catholic parish in the nearby town of Arat. Some sources list his birthplace as the nearby city of Regina, Saskatchewan. He was one of two sons of Adolf Agopsowicz, a grocer, and his wife Eleonore Krückel (also spelled as Eleanor Kriekle or Kriekel). Both parents' families immigrated to the Edenwold district in the late 19th century from the Austrian crownland and duchy of Bukovina. He was of mixed Polish Armenian, Bohemian German, and Polish origins. Vernon was educated at the Banff School of Fine Arts and the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art in London before becoming a live stage actor on the early CBC.
With his wife Nancy West, John Vernon was the father of actress Kate Vernon and singer Nan Vernon. On February 1, 2005, he died in Los Angeles, California of complications following heart surgery, aged 72. |
