Harry Hamlin

Having garnered a Golden Globe nomination for “Best Motion Picture Acting Debut” in the musical comedy MOVIE MOVIE, it is no wonder that Harry Hamlin has been steadily working in television, film, and stage for three decades. He currently appears on AMC’s award-winning MAD MEN and most recently completed arc on Showtime’s SHAMELESS and ARMY WIVES, as well as memorable guest appearances on HBO’s CURB YOUR ENTHUSIASM and TNT’s FRANKLIN & BASH.
Hamlin followed wife Lisa Rinna’s lead as a participant on ABC’s top-rated DANCING WITH THE STARS for which they also completed a nationwide tour. They next united in the Broadway revival of “Chicago” as Billy Flynn and Roxie Hart, and most recently starred in their very own TV Land reality series HARRY LOVES LISA that will coincided with the launch of his Scribner memoir, Full Frontal Nudity. He also portrayed gregarious Uncle Marty on the CBS murder mystery HARPER’S ISLAND, the debonair yet troublesome actor Aaron Echolls on the critically acclaimed VERONICA MARS, and lead the cast of the comedy series MOVIE STARS.
Hamlin received an additional three consecutive Golden Globe nominations for his memorable role as attorney Michael Kuzak on Steven Bochco’s L.A. LAW. The cast reunited some ten years later for a highly–anticipated reunion movie. In the interim, Hamlin has starred in some two dozen telefilms and mini-series.
On the big screen, Hamlin appeared as Adam Sandler’s nature host rival in the FOX comedy STRANGE WILDERNESS. He previously starred as Perseus in the cult favorite CLASH OF THE TITANS with Sir Lawrence Olivier, as well as in the ground-breaking and controversial MAKING LOVE about a gay relationship in the early-‘80s. Also on the horizon are the independent features DANGEROUS ATTRACTION and THE FOURTH NOBLE TRUTH.
Equally impressive is his being honored as People Magazine’s “Sexiest Man Alive;” an honor with which his actress wife undoubtedly agrees. The two reside in Los Angeles with their two daughters. He also has an older son with actress Ursula Andress.
Hamlin is a classically trained actor having received a Bachelor of Arts degree in Drama from Yale University, followed by a Master of Fine Arts in Acting from The American Conservatory Theatre in San Francisco. He can currently be seen in the Los Angeles production of “The Jesus Hickey.” When not continuing to hone his craft, he is an active environmentalist.
