Handsome and undeniably likable, Harrison has carved out a memorable career primarily on television, where he’s best known for his charismatic portrayal of the playful Dr. G. Alonzo ‘Gonzo’ Gates on the long-running dramatic series Trapper John, M.D. Over the years, Harrison has brought his natural charm and athletic presence—complete with those signature curly locks—to a variety of roles across TV and film. While he made a name for himself as Harrison in that iconic role, he didn’t stop there. He appeared in several other series attempts and stayed active in the entertainment world through numerous appearances on “Battles of the Network Stars,” showcasing not just his acting chops but also his physical energy.

Notably, he was part of the sweeping epic Centennial (1978–79), stepped into more provocative territory as a male stripper in For Ladies Only (1981), delivered a strong performance in the 1986 adaptation of Picnic, and tackled sensitive subject matter in Breaking the Silence (1992). Beyond the small screen, Harrison proved his versatility in feature films such as the intense thriller Razorback (1984), the gripping Dangerous Pursuit (1990), and the emotionally resonant It’s My Party (1996).
In a bold new chapter, Harrison made his Broadway musical debut in 1997, stepping into the role of the disreputable emcee of a grueling marathon dance in the Kander and Ebb production Steel Pier. It was yet another example of how Harrison continues to challenge himself and captivate audiences across different mediums. Whether it’s through drama, suspense, or song, Harrison remains a compelling presence—one who’s left a lasting mark on both television and stage.
