John Le Mesurier wie in soan fan abbekaat Charles Elton Halliley. It folk fan syn mem, Amy Michelle Le Mesurier, kaam fan it Kanaaleilân Alderney, dat bestjoerlik ûnder Guernsey falt. Le Mesurier gie nei de iepen biere skoalle yn Dorset en woe eins yn de fuotleasten fan syn heit gean. Mar John fielde al gau dat aktearjen syn ropping wie. Doe't er 20 jier wie begûn er mei de seine fan syn âlden, te studearjen oan de Fay Compton School of Acting, dêr't Alec Guinness yn syn klasse siet.
Yn de Twadde Wrâldoarloch tsjinne er as kapitein oan it noardwest yndyske grinsgebiet. Nei de oarloch gied er wer oan it toaniel en makke syn filmdebút yn Death in the Hand yn 1948. Ein jierren fyftich hied er in protte filmrollen, benammen yn produksjes fan de Boulting Brothers.
Yn 1968 krige er syn meast rol, dy fan sersjant Arthur Wilson yn de hitsearje Dad's Army. Yn Nederlân ferskynde dy searje ûnder de namme Daar komen de schutters. Hoewol't er in foarkar hie foar komeedzje, wurke hy ek yn drama en wûn in BAFTA award foar Bêste Akteur yn 1971 foar syn rol yn Dennis Potter's TF-film Traitor.
