Woodrow Parfrey was born Sidney Woodrow Parfrey in 1922. He had it rough growing up; he was an orphan in the Depression, and when he went to fight in WWII, he was captured by the Germans. When he finally returned to the US, he went into acting, first onstage and then onscreen. He played a lot of multi-faceted character roles. He is well-known for his roles in Papillon, Planet of the Apes, and Dirty Harry. Woodrow passed away from a heart attack in 1984.
