Ed Harris mini-bio: Born Edward Allen Harris in Tenafly, NJ, on November 28, 1950, Harris was an
athlete in high school and went on to spend two years playing football at
Columbia University. His interest in acting developed after he transferred
to the University of Oklahoma, where he studied acting and gained experience
in summer stock. Harris next attended the California Institute of the Arts,
graduating with a Fine Arts degree. He went on to find steady work in the
West Coast theatrical world before moving to New York. In 1983, he debuted
off-Broadway in Sam Shepard's Fool for Love in a part especially written for
him. His performance won him an Obie for Best Actor. Three years later, he
made his Broadway debut in George Firth's Precious Sons and was nominated
for a Tony. During the course of his career, Harris has gone on to garner
numerous stage awards from associations on both coasts.

I agree he's underrated
I also think he's overdue an Oscar so, if by chance,Clint Eastwood, Sofia Coppola or Tim Robbins are looking at this, could you please consider him for a future project.

A great actor!
Loved him in The Rock, Apollo 13, The Truman Show and Radio (and seen other roles of his too).
He acts really well with his EYES (especially in The Rock).
