About John Garrick

Lived 1902 – 1966 (aged 64). John Garrick was a British actor.

John Garrick (born Reginald Dandy; 31 August 1902 – 22 October 1966) was a British stage and screen actor.

Born in Brighton, England, Dandy attended that city's schools and Brighton College.

Dandy made his first stage appearance at the age of ten in A Midsummer Night's Dream. Dandy found employment in a bank after leaving school, but after a few months he left "and turned to the more glamorous life on the stage". He worked up an original vaudeville act which he played at amateur shows. His vaudeville act was taken up by a theatrical manager and was toured throughout Great Britain. Dandy was then signed for a feature role in a revue playing at the Queen's Theatre.

In 1932, Garrick returned to England and starred in numerous English films.

John Garrick died in San Francisco, California in October 1966, aged 64 years.
