    Henry Wills appeared on the Hollywood scene in the late 1930s,
    and found work in front of the camera as a henchie-member of the gang/posse
    in various westerns and chapterplays.
    Les Adams' database has Wills in 90+ films, mostly B westerns and serials.
    Among these are about 40 films at Republic studios during the period from 1938-1950.


    Wills developed the skills to do stuntwork, and over time,
    he became a second unit director in TV and movies, and details follow.
