John Sylvester White (October 31, 1919 - September 11, 1988) was a Philadelphia, Pennsylvania-born American actor.
He was best known for his starring role as "Keith Barron" on the television soap opera Search for Tomorrow from 1951 to 1952, and many years later, to a different generation as the crabby, diminutive high school Vice-Principal "Mr. Woodman", on the sitcom Welcome Back, Kotter, from 1975 until 1979.
He died, aged 68, from pancreatic cancer in Waikiki, Hawaii.
