Harry Woods (May 5, 1889 – December 28, 1968) was an American film actor, born in Cleveland, Ohio. He appeared in nearly 250 films between 1923 and 1958. During his 35-year film career he acquired a reputation as a screen villain ''par excellence''; his imposing size, powerful build, piercing eyes and snarling voice typed him as a bad guy to be reckoned with. He seldom played ordinary henchmen, usually cast as both the brains (the banker or saloon owner who secretly runs the bandit gang terrorizing the area) and the brawn behind the local villainy. Well respected by his peers—another prime screen villain, Roy Barcroft, once said of him, "Everything I know about being a bad guy I learned from Harry Woods"—he enjoyed a long career in films before retiring in 1958, and he died in Los Angeles ten years later from uremia. His son, Harry Lewis Woods, Jr., followed in his footsteps and acted in the 1940s and 1950s as Craig Woods. ==Partial filmography== * ''The Steel Trail'' (1923) * ''The Fast Express'' (1924) * ''Wolves of the North'' (1924) serial * ''Dynamite Dan'' (1924) * ''Ten Scars Make a Man'' (1924) * ''A Trip to Chinatown'' (1926) * ''Jesse James'' (1927) * ''The Viking'' (1928) * ''The Texas Ranger'' (1931) * ''Monkey Business'' (1931) * ''Range Feud'' (1931) * ''Haunted Gold'' (1932) * ''The Adventures of Rex and Rinty'' (1935) * ''The Lawless Nineties'' (1936) * ''The Robin Hood of El Dorado'' (1936) * ''The Plainsman'' (1936) * ''Conflict'' (1936) * ''Outcast'' (1937) * ''I Promise to Pay'' (1937) * ''Mr. Moto in Danger Island'' (1939) * ''Today I Hang'' (1942) * ''Beyond the Last Frontier'' (1943) * ''In Old Oklahoma'' (1943) * ''Tall in the Saddle'' (1944) * ''Code of the West'' (1947) * ''Wyoming'' (1947) * ''Tycoon'' (1947) * ''Western Heritage'' (1948) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Harry Woods (actor)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
