Biography

Sidney L. Miller (born Sid Miller; October 22, 1916 – January 10, 2004) was an American actor, director and songwriter. Sid Miller was born in Shenandoah, Pennsylvania. His first acting role was in his early teens in Penrod and Sam (1931), albeit uncredited. Within his first year of screen appearances he became established as a scene-stealing juvenile, usually affecting a Jewish dialect for comic effect. Among his earliest credits are Three on a Match and Penguin Pool Murder (both 1932). He also appeared in three of Educational Pictures' "Frolics of Youth" comedy shorts, which featured the up-and-coming Shirley Temple.

Sidney Miller became close friends with Mickey Rooney. Miller had a small, but memorable role, as would-be wrestling announcer Mo Kahn in Rooney's Boys Town (1938), and reprised the character in the sequel, Men of Boys Town (1941). Rooney soon gave Miller roles in his teenage musicals. (Sid is Mickey's orchestra leader in Babes in Arms (1939).)

In 1941 Miller became the second lead in Columbia's collegiate comedy series The Glove Slingers, and he remained with the short-subject series until it lapsed in 1943. Miller was also a member of Universal's teenage stock company. While at Universal he befriended Donald O'Connor and contributed to O'Connor's musicals, both as songwriter and performer. Miller played comic sidekicks in Monogram's budget musical and comedy features. His only solo featured spot of the 1940s is as a specialty act in Universal's Babes on Swing Street (1945), in which nightclub emcee Miller does celebrity impersonations of Walter Winchell, Edward G. Robinson, and even Katharine Hepburn. When the Hollywood studios curtailed low-budget production after World War II, Miller concentrated on radio and the new medium of television.
