# Harry Woods (actor)

Harry Lewis Woods (Cleveland, 5 de mayo de 1889 – Los Ángeles, 28 de diciembre de 1968) fue un actor estadounidense.
Nacido en Cleveland, Ohio, Woods sirvió en el ejército con anterioridad antes de ser actor. Aparece en casi 250 películas entre 1923 y 1958. Durante sus 35 años de carrera, se ganó una reputación como villano por excelencia. Su gran tamaño, complexión fuerte, ojos penetrantes y voz grave, hacían que normalmente fuera elegido como el chico malo. Rara vez representaba papeles de secuaces ordinarios, normalmente como el cerebro (el banquero o dueño del Saloon que organizaba en secreto la banda que aterrorizada la zona) y el grandullón detrás del villano principal.
Era muy respetado por sus compañeros. Otro actor que solía interpretar el papel de villano, Roy Barcroft, dijo de él: "Todo lo que se sobre ser un chico malo lo aprendí de Harry Woods."
Disfrutó una larga carrera en películas antes de retirarse en 1958, y murió en Los Ángeles diez años más tarde de uremia.
Su hijo, Harry Lewis Woods, Jr., siguió sus pasos y actuó en la década de los 40 y 50 como Craig Woods.
