116 years ago, an actor named Mort Mills was born.

Mort Mills may have never been a household name but he will be forever remembered for playing the suspicious highway patrolman in 1960’s Psycho.  Anyone was have ever had to deal with a grim-faced, flat-voiced highway patrolman will automatically be able to relate to Janet Leigh’s fear in today’s scene that I love.  I’ve watched this film numerous times and I still don’t know if the patrolman was just doing his job or if he really was suspicious of Marion.  Mort Mills, with those dark glasses and flat affect, keeps you guessing.  In this brief role, Mills makes an impression that will never be forgotten.
