Harry Woods was born on May 5, 1889 in Cleveland, Ohio, as Harry Lewis Woods. He was an actor, known for Monkey Business (1931), Road to Rio (1947) and Days of Jesse James (1939). He was married to Helen P. He died on December 28, 1968 in Los Angeles, California.
One of Hollywood's all-time meanest villains - Although his imposing size, perpetual scowl, snarling voice and all-around evil demeanor made him one of the meanest of screen villains, before he became an actor Woods made a living selling ladies' hats.
