BiographyJohn Compton (born John Compton Tolley; June 21, 1923 – May 12, 2015) was an American actor. He was born John Compton Tolley in Lynchburg, Tennessee.
In 1943, Compton left Lynchburg and went to Hollywood hoping to become an actor. He washed dishes at a restaurant and spent time around union halls seeking a break in the film industry.
