Harvey Matusow (aka Harvey Job Matusow) (October 3, 1926 – January 17, 2002) was an American Communist who became an informer for the Federal Bureau of Investigation and subsequently a paid witness for a variety of anti-subversion bodies, including the House Un-American Activities Committee, before eventually recanting the bulk of his testimony.
These activities led to his own perjury conviction and a prison sentence.
His McCarthy era activities overshadowed his later work as an artist, actor and producer.
