Biography

Ernest Milton Parsons (May 19, 1904 – May 15, 1980) was an American character actor.In 1927, Parsons performed with The Strolling Players of Boston acting company. On Broadway, he portrayed James Case in Unto the Third (1933), Saul of Tarsus in The Vigil (1948), and Albert Plaschke in Now I Lay Me Down to Sleep (1950).Milton Parsons signed with Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer in 1939 as a character actor. Bald-headed and wide-eyed, with a soft-spoken, British-accented voice (he actually hailed from Massachusetts), Parsons became typecast as morticians, coroners, mad doctors, and dangerous eccentrics, although he often played for comedy with a broad smile and bulging eyes. After one year with M-G-M, he began freelancing and worked steadily for various studios. He appeared in more than 160 films, television shows, and commercials between 1939 and 1978.
