David Harris Dies: ‘The Warriors’ Actor Who Played Cochise Was 75


Known for playing Cochise in 'The Warriors' (1979), David Harris died of cancer at age 75 on Friday at his New York City home.

I’ve done a lot of movies, but I get off the plane and people go, ‘It’s the guy from The Warriors. Born June 18, 1949 in New York City, Harris attended Manhattan’s High School of Performing Arts (now Fiorello H. LaGuardia High School) before making his debut in the 1976 TV movie Judge Horton and the Scottsboro Boys. Harris also appeared in such films as Brubaker(1980), Quicksilver(1986) and Fatal Beauty(1987), as well as episodes of MacGyver, Hill Street Blues, The Equalizer, ER, NYPD Blue, Law & Order: Special Victims Unit, Elementary, Instinct and First Wives Club.
