Career

IMDB lists one Harry Clifton as both an actor and a producer, but this is a conflation: the productions belong to a different Harry Clifton. His first film as an actor was the 1908 version of the tale of the Younger brothers. [1] [2] Several other acting roles are credited to Harry Clifton up to 1919, including his best known film Man and Beast (1917) where he played the lead, [3] and Hey There! in which he appeared with Harold Lloyd. His final two films were Just Rambling Along and Hoot Mon! in both of which he appeared with Stan Laurel.
