Richard R. Harris (born March 13, 1969), better known by his nickname, Ross Harris, is an American actor, artist, and musician.
Born in Ventura, California, Harris began acting at age six. He appeared in over 100 commercials in the 1970s. In 1979, at the age of 10, Ross landed the role of Joey in the classic comedy feature film Airplane!, notably in a scene with Kareem Abdul-Jabbar. Ross went on to co-star in the Academy Award-nominated drama Testament as well as roles on The Love Boat, CHiPs, Little House on the Prairie, Hart to Hart, T.J. Hooker and many more.
In March 1985, he replaced Chad Lowe in the starring role on the NBC sitcom Spencer. The show was retooled following Lowe's sudden departure, and returned under the new title Under One Roof. Ross has also been on MTV's Jackass on the segment named "Big Wheel Craze" alongside Dave England.
Harris was part of the Camarillo, CA, space-age electronic music act Sukia in the '90s. Taking their name from an X-rated Italian comic book of the same name, Sukia was notable for their crazy, often perverse live shows, which sometimes featured a naked saxophone player. Sukia toured the world with acts like Beck, and Stereolab, and subsequently put out one album on the Dust Brothers' fledgling label Nickel Bag Records in 1997. The album, Contacto Espacial con el Tercer Sexo (Space Contact with the Third Sex), was produced by the Dust Brothers and Jerry Finn.
