Sam Harris

Sam Harris is an American pop and musical theater singer and an actor on stage, television and film who first came to attention in 1983, when he won the premiere season of Star Search with his rendition of Over the Rainbow, which became his signature song. That exposure led to a contract with Motown Records, and his first single, Sugar Don't Bite, made number 36 on the Billboard Hot 100. He was one of the creators of the TV series Down to Earth, which started in 1984 and ran for four years. He has released nine studio albums along with concert and cast recordings, and has toured to sold-out audiences at venues such as Carnegie Hall and London's West End. On Broadway he earned a Drama Desk nomination for the revival of Grease and a Drama League Award and Tony and Drama Desk nominations for The Life, and he appeared in The Producers. His film work includes Elena Undone (2010).
