Charles Sellon (August 24, 1870 – June 26, 1937) was an American stage and film actor. He appeared in 108 films and stage acts between 1901 and 1935; he is perhaps best remembered for his role as the blind Mr. Muckle in W. C. Fields' comedy It's a Gift (1934).He was married to Florence E. Willis from 1896 until his death. They had one child together: a son named Robert Charles Sellon (January 31, 1911 – April 3, 1997).
Will always be fondly remembered for his enduring classic scenes with W.C. Fields in the film "It's a Gift" playing the blind and nearly deaf Mr. Muckle who, with the help of a cane, hilariously destroys Fields' grocery store.

Cranky character actor from Broadway who got a lot of mileage out of playing curmudgeons opposite such little notables as Shirley Temple.
