Strangely, he bore an uncanny resemblance to Mr. E.P. Millstone. In fact, they could have been mistaken for each other.

Yeah, my father always wondered about that . . . and why my mother got nervous every time she and Pop watched a Milton Parsons movie.

Rand Hobart was played by Brian Wilde in "Curse Of The Demon" (1957). Mr. Millstone, one might argue if Rand Hobart is really a classic character in a classic film as this thread suggests. I think that in order to move the thread along, perhaps we should reference somewhat less obscure characters. Perhaps others will agree with me.

Hint: This character is portrayed by the same actor in two movies. The first a heavily re-edited American version of a 1950s foreign film. The second a heavily re-edited American version of a 1980s foreign film. The second does not qualify as a classic.
