Howard St. John
Howard St. John was a Chicagoborn character actor who specialized in unsympathetic roles. His work spanned Broadway, film and television. He is probably best remembered for his bombastic General Bullmoose, which he played in the stage and screen versions of the 1956 musical Lil Abner.
St. John began film work in the early 1930s and made an impression in Alfred Hitchcocks Strangers on a Train in 1951. He continued in stuffy, rigid or authoritarian roles for most of his career, including memorable ones in The Tender Trap and Born Yesterday. He also recreated his stage role in the film version of Lil Abner.
