Ernie Stanton

From the West End and Broadway musical comedy stages, brothers Ernie Stanton and Val Stanton played "veddy" British gentlemen -- pencil-thin mustaches and all -- and often in the same films: Stage Struck (1936), The Adventures of Robin Hood (1938), and Mysterious Mr. Moto (1938). Although usually unbilled, Ernie Stanton offered memorable performances in Cracked Nuts as Ivan the Robot and The Case of the Black Parrot (both 1941), as the highly suspicious Colonel Piggott. - Hans J.
