A former lawyer, Harry Green took to the vaudeville stage as a comedian and magician in the years following WW I. When talking pictures came in, Green found himself at Paramount, playing mildly stereotypical Jewish characters in such films as The Kibitzer (1929) and Close Harmony (1931). Highlights of Green's Hollywood output include his plaintive rendition of "Isadore the Toreador" in Paramount on Parade (1930) and his portrayal of one Jose Pedro Alesandro Lopez Rubinstein in Fox's She Learned About Sailors (1934). Harry Green spent his last decade in England, essaying character roles in films like Joe MacBeth (1956) and Chaplin's A King in New York (1957). ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
