House Jameson

Cast & Crew

House Baker Jameson (December 17, 1902 – April 23, 1971) was an American actor in the era of old-time radio and early television. Jameson's best-known role was as father Sam Aldrich in the comedy The Aldrich Family. In January 1953, newspaper columnist Richard Kleiner wrote about House Jameson, who played Mr. Aldrich in the radio comedy, "Mr. Jameson, a handsome, white-haired gentleman with a handsome white-haired mustache, is making a career out of being father to a perennial high school junior called Henry Aldrich." He played that role on the radio program 1939 - 1953. In 1968, Jameson noted that the show was popular with younger children and adults but teenagers did not like the show. Jameson said that working on the show was "the happiest acting experience" he ever had and he still missed it. He said that there was never any personality conflicts among the actors, crediting the leadership of its star, Ezra Stone. Jameson and Stone indicated that they developed a father/son relationship in real-life that continued after the show ended.
