John Rogers

John Edward Rogers (28 August 1888 – 31 July 1963) was a British stage and film actor active in American cinema. He was the son of English playwright Charles Rogers and brother of actors Charles and Gerald Rogers.

A character actor, he played a number of supporting roles in the 1930s. These grew increasingly smaller during the 1940s where he was often uncredited. His final handful of appearances were in television during the 1950s. He was often cast in London-set productions, including Raffles and Charlie Chan in London.

Rogers penned an unpublished autobiography which was used as source material for biographical research into his father.

He passed by suicide in 1963.
