Harry Carey Career

Career

Carey first appeared in a film in 1908. He was hired to produce four films, not only acting but also doing his own stunt work. He is best known as one of the first Western film actors to be.

Carey began working for the Biograph Company in 1909. D.W. Griffith had him signed in 1911. The Sorrowful Shore, a sea tale, was Griffith's first film for the city.

Cheyenne Harry, a good-hearted outlaw, was one of his most well-known roles. The Cheyenne Harry series spanned two decades, from A Knight of the Range (1916) to Aces Wild (1936). Straight Shooting (1917), director John Ford's first feature film, Carey appeared in.

Carey's robust frame and craggy features were particularly suitable for westerns and outdoor adventures. Carey's assured, gritty baritone voice, which suited his rough-hewn screen persona, made him become a protagonist in sound films. He was the logical choice for the title role in MGM's outdoor jungle epic Trader Horn. Carey, who was still in his fifties, was too old for most leading roles, and the only starring roles he was offered were in low-budget westerns and serials. He landed in a steady, memorable character actor for his role as the President of the Senate in the 1939 film Mr. Smith Goes to Washington. Master Sergeant Robert White, crew chief of the bomber "Mary Ann" in the 1943 Howard Hawks film Air Force, and cattle buyer Mr. Melville in Hawks' Red River were among his later appearances. Carey made his Broadway debut in 1940 with John Garfield in Heavenly Express.
