-
Tommy Hanlon Jr. (14 August 1923 - 9 October 2003) was an American-born actor, comedian, TV host and later circus ringmaster, notable for his career in Australia after emigrating there in 1959. Hanlon became a major TV celebrity in Australia in the early 1960s. In 1967 he bought into Ashton's Circus. He quit television in 1978 and toured Australia as ringmaster of Silvers Circus until 2001--adapted from Wikipedia, 9 December, 2016.
The original Silver's Circus was an Australian circus started by Mervyn King along with tentmakers, David Hardie Snr. and his two sons Les and David Jnr. In 1976 Swiss born Anton and Anna Gasser acquired Silvers Circus in Australia.
