That "later" Gilbert's acting career in both short subjects and feature films continued into the early 1960s.The Billy Gilbert relevant to this page spent his entire career working almost exclusively in shorts, often uncredited.
His last film appearance, again uncredited, was in F-Man, a comedy released by Paramount Pictures in May 1936.
