Entering motion pictures in 1933, two years after his better-known
brother
Guy Kibbee, Milton's actual appearances in film were triple
those of Guy. Whereas Guy, the well-known-and-loved character actor, was
cast in 115 movies (several of which had significant third or fourth
billing roles), Milton appeared in 365 films and small-screen roles, a
rare accomplishment. Plodding faithfully along and often uncredited, he set a high
standard for loyalty to one's profession as a reliable character actor
and, when needed, a bit actor in films ranging from early talkies and
pre-Golden Age films up to modern movies and much small-screen work
into the early 1950s.
