Tall American actor, probably best remembered for playing mean villains. He appeared in over 250 films. Chuck Anderson at his B-Westerns.com site has a thoroughly researched biography of Harry. He says of Harry: "Sometime in the early 1920s, the family moved to Hollywood where Woods found non-acting work at the Hal Roach studio. The story goes that he was chosen to play a heavy in one of the Roach silents, and from then on, his career became movies ... mostly as a villain" (no source cited). His first "listed" film is a 1923 western for Universal. Interestingly, in 1910 in his hometown in Ohio, he was selling women's hats in a millinery store! |
