Harvey Matusow (aka Harvey Job Matusow) (October 3, 1926 – January 17, 2002) was a U.S. Communist who protected himself from the House Un-American Activities Committee by providing evidence against his former left-wing colleagues. His false accusations led to his own perjury conviction and to being blacklisted. His McCarthy era activities overshadowed his later work as an artist, actor and producer.
