Pat John (1953–2022) was a talented Canadian actor known for his impactful performances in film and television. He gained recognition for his portrayal of Jesse Jim in the iconic Canadian television series "The Beachcombers."

John's passing in 2022 marked a loss in the acting community, leaving behind a legacy of compelling performances.
Most data and links to images for the Movies section come from TheMovieDB (TMDB).
Additional data for Film Titles come from The Open Movie Database (OMDb).
At least one plug-in comes from IMDb.
Data are -- hey, it's a plural -- subject to the limitations of their sources. (For example, TMDB search results currently max out at 20.) I am limiting myself to free data sources for now. (No, a "free trial" is not free.)
