John Louis Mansi, born John Patrick Adams, (8 November 1926 -- 6 August 2010), was a British actor best known for playing Herr von Smallhausen in ''Series/AlloAllo''.

He was first cast as Herr von Smallhausen in the second series of '''Allo 'Allo!'', although the character was much different at first. Herr von Smallhausen was intended to be a little sinister Gestapo officer, but much like Herr Flick, succumbed to VillainDecay and became the bumbling fool we all know and love today.

He also made appearances in ''Series/DepartmentS'', ''Series/RippingYarns'' and ''Series/HammerHouseOfHorror'' on TV, while on the big screen he has appeared in ''The Small World of Sammy Lee'', ''Film/{{Help}}'', ''Film/TheItalianJob1969'', ''Film/TalesFromTheCrypt'' and ''Ooh... You Are Awful''.

He retired from acting in 1992.

He died at the age of 83.
