Born John Meibes (some sources indicate Joseph as his first name) in Dusseldorf, Germany, on September 23, 1926, John Ericson emigrated with his father and mother
to the U.S. in the late 1920s to escape the rise of the Nazi regime. He studied at the American Academy of Dramatic Arts in New York in the late 1940s and early 1950s,
making his Broadway debut in Stalag 17 in May 1951. He also did quite a bit of work in early television in New York, appearing on such programs as The Philco
Television Playhouse and Lux Video Theatre. After making his film debut in the MGM drama Teresa (1951; with Pier Angeli and Ralph
Meeker), Ericson was offered a contract with MGM in 1953. He was given a starring role in the drama Rhapsody (1954; with Elizabeth Taylor and Vittorio Gassman), but after a few
films, including Bad Day at Black Rock (1955; with Spencer Tracy and Anne Francis), the studio dropped his contract.
