Walter Miller
Biography
Walter Miller was an American performer who worked in motion pictures from the silent days into the sound era, appearing in roughly 250 films from 1911 to 1940. Born in Dayton, Ohio, he took an interest in the theater as a young man, then signed with the Biograph Company in 1911 and worked alongside D. W. Griffith. He built a reputation as a character actor and took starring or featured parts in action pictures, acting with silent leading ladies including Mary Pickford, Lillian Gish and Betty Compson. Late in the 1920s he was a popular serial lead, frequently paired with Allene Ray, and his mature baritone voice helped him shift to talking pictures, where he was comfortable as both hero and villain. In 1931 he returned to leading roles in two-reel shorts for RKO, playing the detective Nick Harris. During the 1930s he worked regularly at Universal Pictures in serials and features. He died in 1940.
