Little Known Spaghetti Western actors ~ Jon Chevron

[These daily posts will cover little known actors or people that have appeared in more recent films and TV series. Various degrees of information that I was able to find will be given and anything that you can add would be appreciated.]

Jon Chevron was born Paul Flynn in 1934 in San Bernadino, California and graduated from San Bernadino High School in 1951. He was employed at Norton Air Force Base from 1952-57. His acting career is rather curious and inconsistent. He has at least 7 known or rumored appearances in American films and TV shows between 1959-62.

Chevron next shows up in Italy in 1962, where he stayed for a few years appearing in a handful of peplums. From newspaper articles he went there to appear in a film titled “Iron Men” which was never made but wound up staying after landing a role in “Cleopatra”.

In 1966 he was back in the U.S., before returning to Italy for 2 further roles in 1969 and 1972. In 1973 he showed up in “Shaft in Africa”, a U.S. production shot in Spain and on location in Africa, then he was back in the U.S. for one final TV appearance in 1976. Chevron then disappeared off the radar until news appeared of his death on February 22, 2021.

Jon appeared in two Spaghetti westerns: “Sansone e il Tesoro degli Incas” (Lost Treasure of the Aztecs) in 1964 as a school helper and “Franco e Ciccio sentiero di Guerra” (Paths of War) in 1969 in an uncredited role.
