Our Mr. Sun - Cast

Cast

In this first film of the series, there are very few on-screen credits. Eddie Albert, Frank Baxter and Marvin Miller are the only actors credited on-screen. Lionel Barrymore plays Father Time and the vast majority of the film focuses on these four actors.

A number of the characters are animated and thus played by voice actors. Mr. Sun and Father time are both animated. Along with these two, Chloro Phyll (played by Sterling Holloway) and Thermo the Magician have the next biggest parts. Dawn is the last of the animated characters and is a very small part at the beginning of the film where she makes the introduction for Mr. Sun to tell his story.

There is one other on-screen part going to a man throwing his shoe at a radio when the broadcast is interrupted by sunspots. Three other parts in this segment are for the man's wife, radio announcer Sam Johnson and the radio host that introduces him. These last three are voice only parts and not seen on-screen.

The smallest part in the film is Jim, the technician operating the film projector, and is a voice only part with a single line, "Coming up", in response to Dr. Research's request for focus of the film image during the opening sequence of the movie.
