Hill Harper

Hill Harper, one of the more compelling and promising actors of today, boasts a resume in mainstream and independent films, national television, and in literary circles. Currently one of the stars of CSI: NY, he has also proved successful as an author, completing his second book in a series, Letters to a Young Sister: DeFINE Your Destiny. Harper provides the frequently regarded lost generation with words of encouragement and guidance.

In his first of the series, Letters to a Young Brother: MANifest your Destiny, Harper shares the humbling life lessons he learned on the road to his Ivy League education and beyond. It is a motivational, but approachable book full of encouragement on a wide array of topics geared towards young African-American and Hispanic men. Revolutionary in how he deals with adolescent issues that no other writer has dared to penetrate, Harper won both NAACP Image Awards that he was nominated for in March 2007, Outstanding Literary Work by a Debut Author, and Outstanding Literary Work for Youth/Teens.

Prior to CSI: NY, Harper co-starred as an undercover FBI operative on The Handler in a role that earned him a Golden Satellite Award nomination for Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Drama Series.

Harpers first breakthrough occurred on Married with Children, and in his film debut, Confessions of a Dog. In Spike Lees Get on the Bus, he performed his first substantial role as a college student riding a bus during the Million Man March. From this point, Harper landed roles in He Got Game and Have Plenty. He showed his versatility as an actor when he took a break from mainstream production and starred in independent films Box Marley, Loving Jezebel and The Skulls. His recent independent film Love, Sex and Eating the Bones, was accepted into the Toronto International, Palm Springs, and Pan African film festivals and won Best Canadian First Feature Film. His two newest leading roles are in the 2007 movies Shanghai Hotel and This is Not a Test.
