A towering figure, with a slender yet refined physique, silver hair gracing his distinguished visage, Wilton, a character actor of great renown, made his screen debut at the ripe age of 47, and went on to appear in an astonishing number of almost 200 films.
Perfectly suited to the role, Wilton was often cast as a dignified butler, a position he would occupy more frequently than any other over the course of the next 25 years, with nearly 200 movies to his credit.
Typically, his contributions went uncredited, yet he was equally well-cast in various other roles, including those of a court official, a waiter, a doctor, or a businessman, showcasing his remarkable versatility as an actor.
Even in his later years, Wilton remained active in his profession, continuing to work right up until the time of his passing in 1957.
