Errors:

An early biography in a well respected reference source, the entry may have been submitted by the listed publicist (who was not around very long), and has some significant errors.

  • He was born in Noranda, Quebec not Vancouver
  • He also studied acting (more significantly) at The American Academy of Dramatic Arts in NYC.
  • Greenwood never stage managed in NYC.
  • He never played Dr. Griffin on Matlock.
  • The Story of the Beach Boys: Summer Dreams should be Summer Dreams: the Story of the Beach Boys.
