Harry Solomon

(Harry Solomon)
"Harry is a broad-based character drawn from silent films, of which I have a huge collection," says French Stewart, whose performance as the laconic, oddball alien with the alias of Harry on NBC's "3rd Rock From the Sun" is another in a string of his strange and quirky television roles.

Stewart grew up in his native Albuquerque, where his mother is a homemaker and his stepfather works at a technological laboratory. "They are so enthusiastic and encouraging whenever they see me on TV," he says of the support he gets from his family. His unusual first name has been used in his family for generations -- he's the fourth French.

After attending West Texas State for a year, Stewart graduated from the American Academy of Dramatic Arts with a B.F.A. in theater arts. He then spent seven years touring in regional theater and appearing in productions such as "Macbeth" and "Much Ado About Nothing."

His first professional acting assignment was as Yogi Bear with Hannah-Barbara's Shakey Quakey Tour, which toured the United States, appearing at state fairs and conventions. The job helped him to earn his Screen Actors Guild card, although he was fired soon afterwards for pulling his bear head off in front of the children.

Stewart's additional theater credits include performances in the Los Angeles productions of "Pot Mom" and Justin Tanner's "Party Mix" and "Happy Times Xmas," all of which earned him theater awards from the publication L.A. Weekly.

He made his television debut in a guest-starring role on "The New WKRP in Cincinnati," and his additional TV credits include a recurring role on "The Boys Are Back," guest-starring on NBC's "Seinfeld" and portraying "the weird intern" on "The Larry Sanders Show."

After making his feature-film debut in "The Poison Tasters" at the Cannes Film Festival, Stewart appeared in the films "Broken Arrow," "Stargate," "Cruise" and "Leaving Las Vegas." He also stars in the upcoming feature film "McHale's Navy."

Stewart is single and lives in Los Angeles with his two dogs. His birthday is February 20.
