Henry Woolf

Biography

Henry chose to help aspiring actors improve their craft, instead of continuing with his movie career. He is presently teaching acting at the University of Saskatchewan, in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, Canada. He resides there with his wife Susan and his children. He rarely talks about his movie career, but every so often will blurt out a story or two, always amusing his students. If he is pestered enough he will mention some of the big names he has worked with and his (sometimes colourful) opinions of them. Henry runs the Shakespeare on the Saskatchewan festival every year with great sucess. Henry is well known locally, although many are unaware of his numerous movie credits, perhaps the most famous of them being his role as a transylvanian in the cult classic The Rocky Horror Picture Show (1975) which is shown annually to fanatical crowds on Hallowe'en night.
