Actors Journal – Steve Harris

As he was growing up, Steve Harris wanted to play football. He attended a school known for developing athletes, where he was a running back, and later attended Northern Illinois University, where he was a linebacker. A torn ligament in his ankle kept him from pursuing sports, so he studied performing arts at the University of Delaware and graduated with a master’s in fine arts. Harris is best known for his roles on The Practice (1997-2004), Heist, Friday Night Lights, Awake, Justified, Legends, and Filthy Rich. He was nominated six times for an NAACP Image Award for his role on The Practice.
