Woodward, Henry (1717–77), English actor.
He began his stage career as a child actor, became a dancer and mime at Covent Garden, and from 1738 was the most famous Harlequin and comic at Drury Lane, playing Mercutio, Touchstone, Lucio, Polonius, and a combative Petruchio to Kitty Clive’s Catharine in Garrick’s adaptation. He returned to London after unsuccessful management in Dublin and made his final appearance as Stephano in 1777.
