Frank Mills (1870-1921), character actor
Frank Mills made his film debut in 1928. Though usually unbilled, Mills was instantly recognizable in such films as
Golddiggers of 1933, King Kong (1933) and
Way Out West (1937), to mention but a few. He played reporters, photographers, barkers, bartenders, bums, cabbies, kibitzers, soldiers, sailors...in short, he played just about everything. In addition to his feature-film appearances, he showed up with frequency in short subjects, especially those produced by the Columbia comedy unit between 1935 and 1943. As late as 1959, Frank Mills was popping up in bits and extra roles in such TV series as Burns and Allen and Lassie. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
