Johnny Walker (11 November 1926 – 29 July 2003) is the screen name of an Indian movie comedian, who acted in over 300 movies. He was born as Badruddin Jamaluddin Kazi in Indore, India, the son of a mill worker. The family moved to Mumbai (Bombay) when the textile mill his father worked in closed.

“Did Johnny look flashy?
Yes, his white-on-white shirt and tie were luminous.
His trousers were creased like knives to the tops of his shoes
And his yellow straw hat came down to his dark glasses.”
—David Wagoner (b. 1926)
“Writing saved me from the sin and inconvenience of violence.”
—Alice Walker (b. 1944)
