I am delighted to announce that one of my images was chosen by Mad
Men star Harry Hamlin as the cover for his autobiography “Full Frontal
Nudity”
I urge you all to get this great book detailing the life of this
true Hollywood legend.
Harry was an absolute delight to hang out and work with and I look
forward to our next collaboration.
About Harry Hamlin
Harry Robinson Hamlin (born October 30, 1951) is an American film
and television actor, known for his roles as Perseus in the 1981 fantasy film
Clash of the Titans, and as Michael Kuzak in the legal drama series L.A. Law.
Youth
Hamlin was born in Pasadena, California, the son of Berniece (née
Robinson), a socialite, and Chauncey Jerome Hamlin, Jr., an aeronautical
engineer who once worked with scientist Wernher von Braun.[1][2][3] As a
teenager, he attended Flintridge Preparatory School, near Pasadena, and The
Hill School, a private boarding school in Pennsylvania, where he played soccer and
lacrosse and acted in the school's musicals and plays. Hamlin attended
University of California, Berkeley and is an alumnus of the Theta Zeta chapter
of the national fraternity Delta Kappa Epsilon, of which he was President in
1972. Hamlin graduated from Yale University with a BA in Drama and Psychology
in 1974. Hamlin then attended the American Conservatory Theatre's Advanced
Actor Training Program from which he was subsequently awarded a Master of Fine
Arts degree in acting.
Career
Hamlin appeared in the 1976 television production of Taming of the
Shrew and also had the title role in the 1979 television miniseries Studs
Lonigan. He had a role in Movie Movie with George C. Scott in 1978, but his
big-screen break was a starring role in the 1981 Greek mythology fantasy epic
Clash of the Titans. Afterwards, his career faltered somewhat with such
controversial box office films as Making Love (1982) and Blue Skies Again
(1983). He returned to television appearing in the miniseries Master of the
Game in 1984 and Space (based on the novel by James A. Michener) in 1985.
Following this, Hamlin's popularity skyrocketed when he starred on
the highly popular NBC legal drama series L.A. Law. Playing principled attorney
Michael Kuzak, he remained on the series from 1986 to 1991, during which time
he was voted as People magazine's "Sexiest Man Alive" in 1987. Hamlin
decided to leave the series at the end of the fifth season and tried to revive
his movie career. However, this was unsuccessful and so far he has only starred
in B movies and direct-to-video features.
In early 1991, Hamlin appeared in the music video and sang in the
choir on the song "Voices That Care", which was made in support of
U.S. troops who were stationed in the Middle East and involved at that time in
Operation Desert Storm. He then appeared in two 1992 episodes of Batman: The
Animated Series, in each episode as a separate character. In the episode
"Joker's Wild", Hamlin played the role of Cameron Kaiser, a ruthless
businessman who sinks all his money into a casino, then counts on the Joker to
destroy it in order to collect on the insurance policy from a reputable
company, and in the other episode, "Moon of the Wolf", he provided
the voice of Anthony Romulus, a greedy athlete who takes a potion to enhance
his skills, only to realise too late that it has transformed him into a
werewolf. In 1995, he participated in the documentary film, The Celluloid
Closet where he discussed his role in the film Making Love.
In 2001, he starred in the television comedy Bratty Babies, and in
2002 he reprised the role of Michael Kuzak in an L.A. Law reunion television
movie.
In 2004, Hamlin began a recurring role on the television series
Veronica Mars. He played fading action hero Aaron Echolls, father to central
show character Logan Echolls. Hamlin's character states that he (like the
real-life Hamlin) was People magazine's 'Sexiest Man Alive' in 1987. Aaron's
wife, Lynn, was played by Hamlin's real-life wife, Lisa Rinna. In 2006, Hamlin
took part in the third season of Dancing with the Stars with Ashly DelGrosso,
but was voted off the show in the third week.
Hamlin reprised the role of Perseus in the 2007 video game God of
War II. In the game, Perseus was trapped in a room while searching for the
Sisters of Fate to revive his dead lover, and believes Kratos to be sent by the
gods to test him.
In 2009, Hamlin starred in the series Harper's Island as Uncle
Marty. He was killed abruptly in the first episode by being cut in half while
he dangled from a broken wooden bridge.
In June 2010, Hamlin guest-starred in an episode of Army Wives, and
has since become a recurring cast member.
In June 2010, Hamlin starred in the Hallmark movie You Lucky Dog.
On December 4, 2008, TV Guide reported that Hamlin and Rinna signed
a deal to create a reality television series[6] called Harry Loves Lisa that is
based around their family life. The series was developed by TV Land and
premiered on October 6, 2010.
In 2010, Hamlin published a book Full Frontal Nudity: The Making of
an Accidental Actor wherein he shares stories of his career as an actor. (ISBN
# 1439169993)
In 2012, Hamlin began playing Lloyd Lishman, an older lover to Ian
Gallagher (Cameron Monaghan) on the U.S version of Shameless (7 episodes circa
the end of Season 3).
On April 15, 2012, he appeared in an adult diaper commercial with
his wife during a primetime television program.
Beginning on April 28, 2013, Hamlin appeared in several episodes of
season six (1968) of Mad Men as ad executive Jim Cutler after the merger of Sterling
Cooper Draper Pryce and Cutler Gleason and Chaough. Hamlin was nominated for a
2013 Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Guest Actor in a Drama Series for his
appearance in "A Tale of Two Cities."
Personal life
In 1980, Hamlin had a son (Dimitri Alexandre Hamlin) with Swiss
actress Ursula Andress, his co-star in the film Clash of the Titans. From 1985
to 1989, he was married to actress Laura Johnson and between 1991 and 1993 to
actress Nicollette Sheridan.
Since 1997, Hamlin has been married to former Days of our Lives
actress and television host Lisa Rinna. They have two daughters, Delilah Belle
Hamlin and Amelia Gray Hamlin, who both featured in the reality show Harry
Loves Lisa with the couple.
All three of Hamlin's wives have been prominent prime time
soap-opera actresses: Rinna starred on Melrose Place, Sheridan was a regular on
Knots Landing and more recently on Desperate Housewives, whereas Johnson was a
regular on Falcon Crest (on which even Andress later made guest appearances).
Hamlin is an advocate for Fusion energy and has invested in
Tri-Alpha Energy and is also a board member of Advanced Physics Corporation.
