Harry Wilson

Description[from Freebase]

Harry Wilson (22 November 1897 - 6 September 1978) was an English character actor who appeared in over 200 films from 1928 to 1965. His distinctive facial features (which were the result of acromegaly, a disorder of the pituitary gland) often led to him being cast as various henchmen, thugs, convicts and brawlers. He appeared as a Winkie Guard with Mitchell Lewis, Ambrose Schindler (Jack Haley's Tin Man stunt double), Phil Harron, and Italian-born actor Robert St. Angelo in The Wizard of Oz (1939). Wilson starred as the Monster in Frankenstein's Daughter (1958). He was also a stand-in for Wallace Beery.
