Richard St John Harris was born on October 1, 1930 in Limerick, Ireland, to a farming family, one of nine children born to Mildred (Harty) and Ivan Harris. He attended Crescent College, a Jesuit school, and was an excellent rugby player, with a strong passion for literature. Unfortunately, a bout of tuberculosis as a teenager ended his aspirations to a rugby career, but he became fascinated with the theater and skipped a local dance one night to attend a performance of "Henry IV". He was hooked and went on to learn his craft at the London Academy of Music and Dramatic Art (LAMDA), then spent several years in stage productions. He debuted on screen in Shake Hands with the Devil (1959) and quickly scored regular work in films, including The Wreck of the Mary Deare (1959), The Night Fighters (1960) and a good role as a frustrated Australian bomber pilot in The Guns of Navarone (1961).
However, his breakthrough performance was as the quintessential "angry young man" in the sensational drama This Sporting Life (1963), which scored him an Oscar nomination. He then appeared in the WW II commando tale The Heroes of Telemark (1965) and in the Sam Peckinpah-directed western Major Dundee (1965). He next showed up in Hawaii (1966) and played King Arthur in Camelot (1967), a lackluster adaptation of the famous Broadway play. Better performances followed, among them a role as a reluctant police informer in The Molly Maguires (1970) alongside Sir Sean Connery. Harris took the lead role in the violent western A Man Called Horse (1970), which became something of a cult film and spawned two sequels. As the 1970s progressed, Harris continued to appear regularly on screen; however, the quality of the scripts varied from above average to woeful.
His credits during this period included directing himself as an aging soccer player in The Hero (1970); the western The Deadly Trackers (1973); the big-budget "disaster" film Juggernaut (1974); the strangely-titled crime film 99 and 44/100% Dead! (1974); with Connery again in Robin and Marian (1976); Gulliver's Travels (1977); a part in the Jaws (1975); Orca (1977) and a nice turn as an ill-fated mercenary with Richard Burton and Roger Moore in the popular action film The Wild Geese (1978).
The 1980s kicked off with Harris appearing in the silly Bo Derek vanity production Tarzan the Ape Man (1981) and the remainder of the decade had him appearing in some very forgettable productions. However, the luck of the Irish was once again to shine on Harris's career and he scored rave reviews (and another Oscar nomination) for The Field (1990). He then locked horns with Harrison Ford as an IRA sympathizer in Patriot Games (1992) and got one of his best roles as gunfighter English Bob in the Clint Eastwood western Unforgiven (1992). Harris was firmly back in vogue and rewarded his fans with more wonderful performances in Wrestling Ernest Hemingway (1993); Cry, the Beloved Country (1995); The Great Kandinsky (1995) and This Is the Sea (1997). Further fortune came his way with a strong performance in the blockbuster Gladiator (2000) and he became known to an entirely new generation of film fans as Albus Dumbledore in the mega-successful Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone (2001) and Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets (2002). His final screen role was as "Lucius Sulla" in Caesar (2002).
Harris died of Hodgkin's disease, also known as Hodgkin's lymphoma, in London on October 25, 2002, aged 72.- Actor

From New York to LA, my roller coaster of a career has gone from several contract Daytime roles, accepting a Daytime Emmy for Outstanding Drama Series, One Life to Live to Sex and the City as Charlotte's infamous Rose Gardener, to a Cannes Film Festival selection for my solo performance in the short film Prisoner. I recently wrapped the lead on several films in the past six months, "The Wrong Wedding Planner" with Viveka Fox and "Deadly Therapist" with Eric Roberts for the Lifetime network. My career spans over 35 years, acting in over 140 episodes of TV and Film to date.

Born in the West Texas city of Fort Worth, I was raised by two magnificent women, my Momma, Jo Ann, a loving, strong willed, hard working career woman at both General Motors and American Airlines, and my Granny, M'Dear Opal Lee, a school teacher turned Community Organizer and Civil Rights Activist. My Ninety-Three year old Granny just recently made national news on her Sojourn from Texas to the Nation's Capital in hopes of making Juneteenth a National Holiday.
Early on as a boy, I was severely bitten by the music bug. I excelled as a trumpet player, winning awards and accolades, and eventually winning a spot as a student of Fine Arts at the prestigious Howard University in Washington, D.C.
After school, I became a touring musician, getting my start performing with legendary blues man Johnny Taylor. I eventually signed an artist deal with Chrysalis Records where I wrote produced and performed. The most exciting thing I have done as a musician is to live for a year in Tokyo, Japan playing the club circuit.
Now as an actor pursuing a life long dream of performing both stage and screen it has become more apparent that acting is another happy adventure for me. Yes, achievement is fulfilling but I have become much more aware then ever that "Life is a journey."- Music Department
