Doe Doe Green

Doe Doe Green (1889–1944) was an American comic actor whose Broadway career spanned more than two decades, from 1922 to 1943. He was known as a dancing comedian, a characterization that appeared in a 1922 review of his work with the Jack "Ginger" Wiggins company, which described him as a "popular neat dancing comedian."

Green's stage career began before his Broadway work, with appearances in productions including Jake's Family in 1915 and Swanee River Home in 1922. That same year he appeared in Liza, a production with music by Maceo Pinkard. His Broadway credits include Appearances, The Big Blow, I Know What I Like, Miss Gulliver Travels, The Patriots, and other productions. In the 1925 Broadway production Appearances, he played the role of Rufus. He also appeared in The Green Pastures in 1930, portraying the character Gabriel.

The 1937 production Big Blow placed Green as the only African American in the cast. His character was described at the time as "a Negro lost in a white man's world" as he attempts to protect an orphaned white girl. His final noted Broadway credit was The Patriots in 1943.

Beyond the stage, Green appeared on screen in the 1931 film Enemies of the Law, in which he portrayed Booker T. He also worked as a playwright; his two-act play Back to Africa was published in 1923.
