Biography

Acteur sur des sitcoms comme Dad's Army, il est engagé entre 1977 et 1979 pour faire la voix du robot-chien K-9. Si Tom Baker, l'acteur jouant Le Docteur à l'époque n'aimait pas le personnage de K-9, qui l'obligeait souvent à jouer courbé, il supportait les apparitions du robot-chien grâce à son amitié avec Leeson. En 1978, durant le seul épisode où l'accessoire robotisé simulant K-9 ne pouvait être utilisé, « The Power of Kroll », John Leeson accepte de jouer le rôle de l'ingénieur Dugaan. En 1979, son contrat n'est pas renouvelé durant la saison 17 et est remplacé le temps de quatre épisodes (dont un annulé) par David Brierly. En 1980, le chien robot-disparait de la série, avant de réapparaître dans une série avortée nommée K-9 and Company.

Acteur de doublage, il fait de nombreuses voix de monstres dans la série Doctor Who et reprend son rôle pour des pièces audio ainsi que pour quelques apparitions. (« The Five Doctors », « L'École des retrouvailles » ou « La Fin du voyage ». Après quelques apparitions et différents démêlés lié au droit du personnage, il reprend la voix lorsque K-9 devient un membre permanent de la série The Sarah Jane Adventures.

The beginning of the film parodies the Falklands War when a small British colony is invaded by its neighbour, the fictional country of Maguadora, whose dictator General Mosquera is played by Herbert Lom. The new President of the United States, Barbara Adams, tried to sort out the mess (both countries are hard on communism) but the peace talks are sabotaged by Lacrobat (Michael Richards), the world's leading terrorist. The British, under the leadership of PM Sir Mortimer Chris, send in a task force to seize the islands back. For revenge Mosquera hires Lacrobat to kidnap the British Princess Wendy, in order to hold her to ransom to get the British out. Sir Mortimer then threatens that unless she is returned in 48 hours, he will release a nuclear strike. So now President Barbara Adams not only has to deal with Mosquera and Lacrobat, she must also deal with Sir Mortimer, and also with the fact that Mosqueara decides to align himself with Russia, and this whole thing could start World War III.
