Robert Harmon attended film school at Boston University and worked for
many years as a still photographer prior to embarking on a film career.
Harmon worked as a still photographer on the movies "Roller Boogie,"
"Fade to Black," and "Hell Night." He was a second unit camera operator
on "They Call Me Bruce?". Robert was the cinematographer for both the
offbeat vampire feature "The Black Room" and the documentary "The
Jupiter Menace." He made his directorial debut with the short thriller
"China Lake." Harmon achieved his greatest enduring cult popularity
with the intense, harrowing and genuinely terrifying "danger on the
road" psycho horror knockout "The Hitcher." Robert then directed the
touching drama "Eyes of An Angel" and the exciting Jean-Claude Van
Damme action vehicle "Nowhere to Hide." In addition, Harmon has
directed a bunch of made-for-TV movies which include the excellent
biopics "Gotti" and "Ike: Countdown to D-Day." Robert made a welcome
return to the horror genre with the spooky "They" and contributed
another worthy addition to the "danger on the road" sub-genre with the
brutal and nerve-wracking "Highwaymen." More recently Robert Harmon has
directed several gritty and superior made-for-TV crime mystery dramas
starring Tom Selleck as tough, but worn-out Police Chief Jesse Stone.
