Milton George Gustavus Sills (January 12, 1882 – September 15, 1930) was an American stage and film actor of the early twentieth century.

[citation needed] In 1905, stage actor Donald Robertson visited the school to lecture on author and playwright Henrik Ibsen and suggested to Sills that he try his hand at acting.

[citation needed] In 1908, while Sills was performing in New York City, he attracted the notice of Broadway producers such as David Belasco and Charles Frohman.

[2] By the early 1920s, Sills had achieved matinee idol status[5] and was working for various film studios, including Metro Pictures, Famous Players–Lasky, and Pathé Exchange.

[12] Sills also wrote a book, published posthumously in 1932: Values: A Philosophy of Human Needs – Six Dialogues on Subjects from Reality to Immortality, co-edited by Ernest Holmes.

[13] In his time, his fame as an attractive movie star was such that his name was used in a 1928 Danish vaudeville revue song, with the idea that "modern girls find fault with almost everybody; unless a man is a Milton Sills, he doesn't stand a chance".
