David Harris, the actor who portrayed gang member Cochise in the cult classic film The Warriors, has died at the age of 75. While The Warriors was Harris’ most famous role, the actor also appeared on TV shows like Hill Street Blues, MacGyver, ER, Law & Order: Special Victims Unit, and a 16-episode run as a police officer on NYPD Blue. One of those fans, Hamilton creator Lin-Manuel Miranda — who first saw the movie as a four-year-old via a friend’s older brother’s VHS — recently followed up his Broadway smash in an unexpected way, co-writing a concept album dedicated to The Warriors; that all-star LP — titled Warriors, and revolving around an all-girl gang — was released on October 18, with Kenita Miller playing the role of Cochise.
