British actor who found many roles in the 1950s displaying boyish
naivete, in both the stage and screen versions of The Slasher (1953).
Often confused with Irish-born actor James Berwick. Berwick was
born James Kenny, and used this name when working in the US. The
similarity of both their real and stage surnames often caused
confusion.
Son of music hall comedian Horace Kenney. To avoid being confused with his father he opted to use James rather than Horace as his stage name.
