Being a classically trained veteran of music hall Daniel Jonah complained that he never truly felt at home working at Whiskerino Productions.  This probably explains why he only appeared in two films with the studio.  He had a wealth of experience which was never tapped whilst he was at the studios.

   
Jonah played the role of Flim Flam the odd job man / entrepreneur man who caused so much trouble for Bar Keep and the Transelvationers in the Horror Canon.  Friends say that he enjoyed the role, but felt unimpressed by the level of professionalism displayed by his fellow actors.  His stunt double came in for particular criticism and seldom worked again.

       
For years it was thought that he had choreographed the dance routine he did in The Curse of the Mummy's Comb.  Recently uncovered records point to a dance instructor who worked at director Sid Kick's local laundrette as the source of the dance steps.  Jonah did however perform the routine entirely by himself.
       
He left the studio disillusioned shortly after the completion of filming on The Curse of the Mummy's Comb.  Jonah told friends that he wanted to begin a new life for himself in China. 

At the request of PDA Kirwan he returned briefly for a cameo in Hired Spirits in 1962.
