Henry Woolf(1930-2021)
- Actor
Henry chose to help aspiring actors improve their craft, instead of
continuing with his movie career. He was teaching acting at
the University of Saskatchewan, in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, Canada until his death. He lived there with his wife Susan and his children. He rarely talked
about his movie career, but every so often, would blurt out a story or
two, always amusing his students. If he was pestered enough he would
mention some of the big names he had worked with and his (sometimes
colorful) opinions of them. Henry ran the Shakespeare on the
Saskatchewan festival every year with great success. Henry was 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.
