Danny John-Jules

In 1993, he released a song from Red Dwarf, "Tongue Tied", as a single, which got into the top 20 of the UK Singles Chart. His brother, Larry Tamblyn, was the drummer with 1960s band The Standells. He was a member of the original cast of Starlight Express, playing a boxcar, Roxy I. His daughter is Amber Tamblyn with whom he has appeared in "Rebellious" and "Johnny Mysto: Boy Wizard". Before his television and film work he was a dancer, including many productions at West End theatres. More recently he has appeared in television series such as Nash Bridges, Twin Peaks (in which he played an eccentric psychiatrist), and the Babylon 5 episode A Distant Star in which he played 'Captain Jack Maynard'. In film, he has appeared in Labyrinth, the 1986 version of Little Shop of Horrors, Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels, and Blade II. In 1962 he appeared in the cinerama movie How the West Was Won.

On television, he has also played the parts of Barrington in Maid Marian and Her Merry Men and of Milton Wordsworth, one of the magical characters in The Story Makers. He appeared in the movie Peyton Place in 1957, for which he was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor. The producers decided that he was cool enough to be the Cat. His further musical roles included the movies Tom Thumb, Hit the Deck and West Side Story where he played Riff, the leader of the Jets. He got the part of the Cat by turning up an hour late for auditions but being totally unconcerned about this fact. In 1954 he was one of the singing and dancing brothers -- 'Gideon' -- in the film of the musical Seven Brides for Seven Brothers for which his abilities as a champion gymnast and acrobat were well suited. Daniel (Danny) John-Jules (born in London on September 16, 1960) is a British dancer and actor. He is perhaps best known for playing The Cat (and its alter ego, Duane Dibbley) in Red Dwarf on television and an up-coming film. His first movie appearance was in 1948 in The Boy With Green Hair.
