Milton Brown Movies
A busy supporting player in the silent Westerns of
Hoot Gibson and Buck Jones, Milton Brown (aka Milt Brown) was a real-life stage-driver and a veteran of the very last cattle drives. In films from around 1910, Brown could and would play anything from nasty Arab villains (The Arab, 1915) to Senator Pettingill in the 1923 Edward Everett Horton version of Ruggles of Red Gap. But Brown mostly found himself in Westerns and often on the wrong side of the law. Good friend
Hoot Gibson made sure that the veteran performer was hired for all his early sound films, and Brown played minor sidekick roles in both Hard Hombre (1931) and The Local Bad Man (1932). ~ Hans J. Wollstein, All Movie Guide
