1873 - 1936

Vor seiner Laufbahn beim Film arbeitete er regelmässig beim Theater, wo er zahlreiche Rollen verkörpern konnte und sowohl klassische Rollen von Shakespeare als auch in Musicals spielte.

Als er sich schliesslich dem Film zuwandte, begann er seine dortige Aktivität nicht als Schauspieler sondern als Regisseur des Kurzfilms "Ben Hur" (07), der ersten Verfilmung dieses Stoffes überhaupt. Die Regie teilte er mit Sidney Olcott und Frank Rose. Die Rolle des Ben Hur wurde von Hermann Rottger, jene des Messala von William S. Hart verkörpert.

1909 unterzeichnete Harry T. Morey einen Vertrag bei Vitagraph Film und ein Jahr später feierte er sein Filmdebüt als Schauspieler mit "Capital vs. Labor" (10).

In den nächsten Jahren avancierte er schnell zu einem begehrten Mimen und er agierte in unzähligen Kurzfilmen der 10er Jahre.
Zu diesen Produktionen gehören "Red Eagle" (11), "The Sacrifice" (11), "The Sky Pilot" (11), "Two Wolves and a Lamb" (11), "Billy the Kid" (11), "Indian Romeo and Juliet" (12), "The Lady of the Lake" (12), "The Miracle" (12), "The Bogus Napoleon" (12), "Adam and Eva" (12), "The Deeslayer" (13), "Vampire of the Desert" (13), "The Lion's Bride" (13), "The Wreck" (13), "Shadows of the Past" (14), "The Man Behind the Door" (14), "The Scar" (15), "The Woman in the Box" (15), "Salvation Joan" (16), "The Courage of Silence" (17), "Her Secret" (17), "The Desired Woman" (18), "The Green God" (18), "Fighting Destiny" (19), "The Gamblers" (19) und "The Darkest Hour" (19).

In den 20er Jahren entstanden nochmals zahlreiche weitere Filme, darunter "The Sea Rider" (20), "The Gauntlet" (20), "Wildness of Youth" (22), "Captain January" (24), "The Roughneck" (24), "The Adventurous Sex" (25), "Camille of the Barbary Coast" (25) und "The Return of Sherlock Holmes" (29), wo er den Bösewicht Professor Moriarty verkörperte.

Mit dem Aufkommen des Tonfilms ging seine Filmlaufbahn zu Ende und man sah den charismatischen Schauspieler nur noch in wenigen Filmen.
Zu diesen Arbeiten gehören "His Honor - Penrod" (32), "The Trans-Atlantic Mystery" (32), "The Shadow Laughs" (33) und "Very Close Veins" (34).
