Silver-haired and silver-tongued, Jackson so closely resembled such dignified character players as Samuel S. Hinds and Henry O'Neill that at times it was hard to tell which actor was which -- especially when (as often happened at Warner Bros. in the 1930s) all three showed up in the same picture.

Selmer Jackson's final film appearance was still another uniformed role in 1960's The Gallant Hours. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi
