Comedian and actor Ralph Harris is one of the fastest rising comics today. Ralph is perhaps most recognizable from his starring role in the sitcom On Our Own, which aired this past year on ABC. He recently completed taping his own HBO Half-Hour Comedy Special at the Fillmore Hotel in San Francisco. Ralph also has a development deal with HBO for his own series.
Ralph was "discovered" by members of the ABC Casting and Development Department, when they attended a comedian's showcase at Hollywood's famous club, The Laugh Factory—the rest, they say, is network history.
One of the highlights of Ralph's early stand-up career was the night he performed his comedy routine opening for Janet Jackson's sold-out Rhythm Nation concert tour in his hometown of Philadelphia.
On Our Own enabled Ralph to highlight his talents, performing character comedy to a broad audience, following in the footsteps of two of his idols, Bill Cosby and Jonathan Winters. In addition to acting, Ralph's passion for performing stand-up comedy remains close to his heart. In fact, he continues to perform in sold-out clubs across the country when not making television appearances. It wasn't until Ralph saw Eddie Murphy perform live that he was inspired to pursue stand-up comedy.
Ralph was featured on an episode of the critically-acclaimed television series Seinfeld. He actually credits the show for giving him the confidence to pursue his acting career. Prior to that, Ralph's other acting credits include Living Single and In Living Color. Ralph has also appeared on The Tonight Show Starring Jay Leno, The Arsenio Hall Show, Showtime At The Apollo, and An Evening At The Improv. He has also been featured on Entertainment Tonight, Extra and CNN. Ralph currently lives in Los Angeles and spends what free time he has creating new characters and touring comedy clubs across the country.
