Biography

James Kenney was an English actor whose boyish charm found him regular film and stage roles throughout the 1950's

Named after his father, music hall comedian Horace Kenney, he chose to use his middle name James to avoid any confusion.

By the late 1960's acting work had almost dried up and James Kenney committed suicide on 13th January 1987.
