Arthur Malet
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Arthur Malet (born 24 September 1927, Lee-on-Solent, England) is an actor.
Though born in England, Malet was raised in Wales and moved to the United States as a teenager. He started out on the stage, winning two Drama Desk Awards in 1957.[1] He came to prominence in the 1960s on starring in films as characters much older than he really was, such as Mr Dawes, Jr. in Mary Poppins. He went on to play a village elder in Mel Brooks' Young Frankenstein in 1974, and Tootles in Hook in 1991.[2]
He currently resides in Santa Monica, California.[citation needed]
