Career
From 1922 until his death year Harvey appeared in more than 115 films. He was credited for about two-thirds of his film appearances, but some of his roles were uncredited. The burly actor with a moustache mostly played comic supporting roles, often as an innkeeper.
His best-known role was Beamish in the first two Tarzan films starring Johnny Weissmuller.
He appeared in two films for Alfred Hitchcock, first in his British silent film The Ring, than in Hitchcocks Hollywood debut Rebecca. A number of reference works incorrectly identify him as having played Little Maria"s father in Frankenstein.
Harvey"s interment was in California.
