Harry J. Worth was born on 6 February 1903 inYorkshire, England.
All of his films from 1919 to 1929 are British productions. He went to the US in 1929, where his British film experience gave him the background to find his way to theBroadway stage, where he appeared in various productions until coming toHollywood in 1935.
His first film role was in Universal'sTailspin Tommy in The Great Air Mystery (1935) serial. Worth returned to serials twice more at Republic – as crooked banker Calvin Drake inThe Adventures of Red Ryder (1940) and as the archaeologist who turns out to be the masked "Scorpion" inAdventures of Captain Marvel (1941).
Worth left films after playing a gambler inThe Adventures of Mark Twain (1944) and may have returned to the stage, although Social Security records have him in California until 1951. In 1965 he retired toAlbuquerque, New Mexico, where he lived with an older sister, Beatrice Gregg, a former actress.
