John Alderson led a colorful life considering his origins in a
mining village in the north of England. After spending all of two weeks
as a miner, he lied about his age, joined the British Army and attained
the rank of Major. Leaving for the US, he married a General's secretary
and got into the movies, often playing villains. He played (uncredited)
the Gum Chewer in Blazing Saddles (1974).
