Burly, stentorian-voiced John Hamilton, worked on Broadway and in touring theatrical companies for many years prior to his 1930 film debut. He was in the original Broadway company of "Seventh Heaven" and would appear in the film remake , a British actor who worked during the same period but exclusively in the UK, and with several other actors of the same name.
Best remembered as Perry White, the editor of The Daily Planet on "Adventures of Superman" (1952) .
Upon Hamiltons 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, Superman and Atom Man vs. Superman . However, the problem became moot when the series was abruptly canceled after the death of star George Reeves in 1959.
