Harris was an Army pilot whose leg was injured in a plane crash less than six months after he enlisted in 1937.

Before becoming an actor, he held a variety of jobs, including newspaper reporter, boxer, sailor, and artist.
Harris played varied characters, often villains, on various programs produced by Jack Webb's Mark VII Limited, such as Dragnet, Noah's Ark, GE True, Adam-12, and Emergency!.

In 1969, Harris played the corrupt and cowardly Mayor Ackerson of the since ghost town of Helena, Texas, in the episode "The Oldest Law" of the syndicated television series, Death Valley Days, hosted by Robert Taylor not long before Taylor's own death.
