About
Having garnered a Golden Globe nomination for “Best Motion Picture Acting Debut” in the musical comedy Movie Movie, it is no wonder that Harry Hamlin has been steadily working in television, film, and stage for over four decades. His most recent triumph is AMC’s highest-rated new drama series, Anne Rice’s Mayfair Witches, and Paramount’s 80 for Brady feature in which he graced the screen with such legends as Jane Fonda, Lily Tomlin, Sally Field, and Rita Moreno. He also partners with AMC for In the Kitchen with Harry, a half-hour series for linear, digital, and streaming. When not acting, Hamlin is perfecting his famous sauce, which will soon be available for mass consumption via his The Open Food Company, and is doing his part to save the environment as founder of TAE Technologies, being at the forefront of fusion energy.
Harry's path to becoming a climate tech entrepreneur culminated in the founding of TAE Technologies. Founded in 1998, TAE Technologies aims to develop commercial fusion power with a clean environmental profile, offering an efficient and competitive energy solution. With over 1,100 patents, $880 million in private funding, and a team of 250, TAE is close to delivering a sustainable energy source. Their innovations extend to power management, energy storage, and more. Based in California, with offices in the UK and Switzerland, TAE focuses on proprietary science and engineering to create a sustainable future. The company is progressing towards commercial success, leveraging Harry's entertainment industry connections and passion for science to advocate for fusion energy.
When Hamlin is not focusing on climate activism, he continues to hone his craft.He appeared on AMC’s Mad Men, for which he garnered an Emmy nomination, recurred on Showtime’s Shameless and USA Network’s medical drama Rush, and made memorable guest appearances on the likes of Mom, Angie Tribeca, Glee, Amazon’s Salem Rogers, Curb Your Enthusiasm, and Franklin & Bash. He’s since appeared in the Golden Globe-nominated Epix original series, Graves, with Nick Nolte and Sela Ward, had an arc on USA Network’s Shooter with Ryan Phillippe, co-starred with Edie Falco in Law & Order: The Menendez Murders, portrayed legendary news anchor Tom Brokaw in Nat Geo’s The Hot Zone: Anthrax limited series, and starred in Lifetime’s Flowers in the Attic: The Origin prequel with Max Irons and Kelsey Grammer.
Additionally, he co-stars in the Unsinkable series with John Malkovich and Brian Cox. Hamlin followed wife Lisa Rinna’s lead as a participant on ABC’s top-rated Dancing with the Stars, for which they completed a nationwide tour. They next united in the Broadway revival of Chicago as Billy Flynn and Roxie Hart, and starred in their very own TV Land reality series Harry Loves Lisa, that coincided with the launch of his Scribner memoir, Full Frontal Nudity. He also portrayed gregarious Uncle Marty on the CBS murder mystery Harper’s Island, the debonair yet troublesome actor Aaron Echolls on the critically acclaimed Veronica Mars, led the cast of the comedy series Movie Stars, and completed arcs on Army Wives, and most recently as Anna Faris’ love interest on Mom. Hamlin received an additional three consecutive Golden Globe nominations for his memorable role as attorney Michael Kuzak on L.A. Law. The cast reunited some ten years later for a highly anticipated reunion movie. In the interim, Hamlin has starred in some two dozen telefilms and mini-series. On the big screen, Hamlin appeared as Adam Sandler’s nature host rival in the FOX comedy Strange Wilderness. He previously starred as Perseus in the cult favorite Clash of the Titans with Sir Laurence Olivier, in the groundbreaking and controversial Making Love about a gay relationship in the early ‘80s, the dramas Immigrant, The Fourth Noble Truth, which took home honors at the Sonoma International Film Festival, and most recently, The Meddler with Susan Sarandon, Rose Byrne, and J.K. Simmons.
Additional film credits include a kinky cameo in the thriller Bleeding Heart with Jessica Biel and Zosia Mamet, which premiered at the Tribeca Film Festival, along with his film Rebirth, starring for Director Penn Jillette’s Slamdance opener Director’s Cut, in Sundance’s New Frontiers virtual reality feature Defrost, and in the indie drama film, No Alternative. Equally impressive is his being honored as People Magazine’s “Sexiest Man Alive,” an honor with which his actress wife undoubtedly agrees. The two reside in Los Angeles with their two daughters, and he also has an older son with actress Ursula Andress. Hamlin is a classically trained actor, having received a Bachelor of Arts degree in Drama from Yale University, followed by a Master of Fine Arts in Acting from The American Conservatory Theatre in San Francisco.
