Al St. John is today mostly remembered as «second banana» to his uncle Roscoe «Fatty» Arbuckle in the Comique series and as the cult figure Western sidekick «Fuzzy Q Jones». His actual history is mostly forgotten today and what is remembered is often wrong. His talent is greatly underrated as most of St. John’s big productions are as of today lost. Still he was in a league of his own with a flair for surreal physical comedy and continuation to reinvent himself all through his career. Throughout his lifetime he worked in most branches of the entertainment industry - from circus and street artist to theatre, vaudeville and the movies, before he ended the journey as a performer at the traveling western revues.
