Streaming Stars, Then and Now

Barbara Eve Harris is originally from Tobago, the daughter of Jamaican parents. She moved to Canada at the age of 6 with her family. Raised and educated in Ottawa, the national capital, she graduated from the University of Ottawa with a B.A. (concentration in Theater and Philosophy). The initial plan was for Law School, but despite offers of admission, including scholarships, she followed her heart to be a performer instead.

Although trained mainly as an actor, her professional career began with a dance role in New York City in "Follies de Paris", a Vegas-style review. It was dancing that led to her film debut in "Night Magic", a fantasy musical shot in Montreal, Quebec. This first movie role also meant a return to acting, and led to a thriving film and television career. A recipient of several regional Canadian awards for acting, and a Gemini nomination for Best Actress In A Continuing Leading Dramatic Role (as Wanda Gibbs in "Side Effects"), she chose to expand her horizons and relocated to Los Angeles in 1998.

Barbara's many starring roles span the range from tough U.S. Army Ranger Drill Instructor Sgt. Rhodes (Dead Men Can't Dance (1997)) to grief-stricken widow and mother Janice Crosby, opposite Louis Gossett Jr. (In His Father's Shoes (1997)). Her credits include some 9 theatrical features, 20 television features, and more than 100 episodic television appearances, including the role of FBI Agt. Felicia Lang in the final 3 seasons of the hit series Prison Break (2005). Aside from numerous locations within North America, she has also filmed in the Philippines (Dead Men Can't Dance (1997)), New Zealand (Nightmare Man (2000)), Hawaii (ER (1994)) and Bogotá, Colombia (Mental (2009)).
