biography
A swarthy-looking supporting actor of the 1910s, R. Henry Grey had performed in California light opera and various stock companies for a decade or so prior to playing "the other man" in silent melodramas produced by the Balboa company in Long Beach, CA. He appeared almost exclusively in very low-budget Westerns in the 1920s and can be seen today as the villain in J.B. Warner's still extant Big Stakes (1922).
