Actor.  He played many diverse roles during his four-decade career. Harris first gained note in the 1964 film about black life in the South, “Nothing But a Man”, playing the alcoholic father of Ivan Dixon.  In the 1970s he began a string of roles in several big blaxploitation films,  including “Superfly” (1972), “Shaft’s Big Score” (1972),  “Black Caesar” (1973), “Hell Up In Harlem” (1973),  and “Friday Foster” (1975). Harris is probably best-remembered for playing the evil Tee Hee Henderson in the James Bond movie “Live and Let Die” (1973),  and as President Idi Amin in the TV movie “Victory at Entebbe” (1976).
