Gus McNaughton (29 July 1881 18 November 1969), also known as Augustus Le Clerq and Augustus Howard,[1][2] was an English film actor. He appeared in 70 films between 1930 and 1947. He was born in London and died in Castor, Cambridgeshire.[3] He is sometimes credited as Gus MacNaughton.[4] He appeared on stage from 1899, as a juvenile comedian with the Fred Karno company, the influential British music hall troupe. In films, McNaughton was often cast as the "fast-talking sidekick", and he appeared in several popular George Formby comedies of the 1930s and 1940s.[5] He also appeared twice for director Alfred Hitchcock in both Murder! (1930) and The 39 Steps (1935).[6]
