Biography
Over his 60-year career, American stunt man Harvey Parry appeared in close to 600 films. He got his start playing a Keystone Kop for
Mack Sennett and over the years played stunt doubles for some of Hollywood's brightest stars including
James Cagney, for whom he doubled most often, Bogart,
Peter Lorre, and once,
Shirley Temple. Though not generally known until long after famed silent comedian
Harold Lloyd's death, Parry also doubled for Lloyd in the action sequences of
Feet First (1930) on the long shots. During the '70s through the early '80s, Parry did stunt and character work (specializing as a stumbling drunk) on several television series including
The Fall Guy. ~ Sandra Brennan, All Movie Guide
