and Brendan Fraser in "Extraordinary Measures," and alongside Brad Pitt and Cate Blanchett in David Fincher's critically acclaimed 2008 film, "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button." Harris made his film debut in 1989's "The Rachel Papers," which was the directorial debut of his brother Damian, and since then has gone on to appear in over fifty films in a wide array of roles, including a riveting portrayal of Andy Warhol in the acclaimed "I Shot Andy Warhol"; and the sleazy Russian cab driver, Vladimir, in Todd Solondz's "Happiness," for which the cast received the 1999 National Board of Review Acting Ensemble Award. Additional credits include "Last of the Mohicans," "Natural Born Killers," "Sylvia" and "Ocean's Twelve," among others.

In television, Harris has accumulated an impressive list of credits in both England and the U.S., including a highly acclaimed performance as Henry VIII for the BBC production of "The Other Boleyn Girl." Additional BBC credits include the mini-series "To The Ends of the Earth" and the starring role in "Coup!" Stateside, Harris has been seen in recurring roles for both "The Riches" and "Fringe" and has guest-starred in "Law & Order: Special Victims Unit," and "Without a Trace."

Harris has appeared with some of the most renowned theater companies in both London and New York, and made his American stage debut as 'Hotspur' in the New York Shakespeare Festival's "Henry IV," "Parts 1 & 2." He then went on to perform with the company in both the acclaimed version of "Tis Pity She's A Whore" and "King Lear." Additional stage credits include the New Group's Obie Award-winning production of Mike Leigh's "Ecstasy"; the New Jersey Shakespeare Company's experimental production of "Hamlet," in which he played the title role; the Almeida Theatre's production of Tennessee William's bittersweet comedy "A Period of Adjustment"; and the Vineyard Theater's production of "More Lies About Jerzy."
