America’s Leading Man; handsome, wavy-haired and ultra sexy Harry
Hamlin first attracted attention in Stanley Donen's Hollywood
pastiche, "Movie Movie" (1978). Hamlin's easy charm and rough-hewn
features were adored in the fantasy, "Clash of the Titans" (1981),
and "Making Love" (1982). Harry is probably best known for his
portrayal of attorney Michael Kuzak on NBC's award winning and long
running "L.A. Law" series. Full Bio »
Excerpt from MySpace
Right now I'm a 54 year old guy pretending to be 24
as I try every day to learn how to dance.
Today is Saturday,
September 9, 2006....two days before a bunch of us go in front of
the world on ABC to do something most of us have never done before!
How crazy is that???
I've been rehearsing the Cha, Cha, Cha
with Ashly Delgrosso, bless her heart for her seemingly limitless
patience with the old man, and a couple of days ago I actually felt
like I was really cooking. Then I cought a glimpse of myself in the
mirror at the dance studio and a profound sense of dread set in.
Sinse then, I haven't stopped trying to fix what I saw in the
blasted mirror.
Anyway, as for my particulars...I'm an actor,
lots of stage...Equus, the boy; Hamlet, the prince; Henry V, the
king..among others but those are the ones I really liked.....Movies,
Clash of the Titans, Perseus; Making Love, Bart; Movie Movie, Joey
Popchick....among many others but those are the ones I talk
about....TV, mainly LA Law but recently Veronica Mars which I love
but which is on at the same time as Dancing with the Stars so I
won't talk about it! I've never done any dancing for money, though
after this, depending on how I do, you might see me downtown on Main
St. doing my Cha, Cha routine for quarters!
My mom insisted that I
go to dancing school when I was around nine....all I remember is
that I got yanked off the flag football field, thrown into a tiny
suit and had to endure the putrid breath of nine year old girls for
one hour a month. I learned no dance steps and vowed never again to
try a boxstep! I'm breaking that vow after more than forty years.
Also, as far as particulars go, my wife, Lisa, and I own a
cool clothing store called belle gray...the middle names of our two
girls, Delilah Belle and Amelia Gray. Actually we have two stores,
one in Sherman Oaks, Ca. and one in Calabasas, Ca and we also have a
rockin' website... http://www.bellegray.com/....check it out. Of
course, I want to direct....of course! I have a project that is in
pre production and I'm in the process of casting and raising
funds...any one with a few million dollars burning a hole in their
pocket...I accept cashiers checks and money orders only!
Also. I'm a news and
political junkie...I don't know why 'cause no matter how much news I
watch or how loud I scream at the insanity going on around us, it
just keeps getting crazier! I'm an environmentalist...that's a big
word...I'm for helping the planet...I'm for doing what we can about
global warming and climate change as well as finding alternative
sources of energy...that last one is a particular favorite of mine
for reasons that will become clear in time. For now I'm a dancing
fool and proud of it. We'll see how I feel in a few weeks!!
