# bio (long form, separated for readability)
bio: |
  Harris trained at the London Academy of Music and Dramatic Art and surfaced with the British New Wave, earning his first Oscar nomination for This Sporting Life in 1963. He threaded through war epics, Antonioni art films, and Westerns before winning a Golden Globe for playing King Arthur in Camelot in 1967, then landed a surprise hit with his 1968 recording of "MacArthur Park," which cracked the top ten in five countries. His second Oscar nomination came in 1990 for The Field, nearly thirty years after the first. He took the Dumbledore role in the first two Harry Potter films at the end of his life, the second released in 2002, weeks after he died. The Irish Times ranked him third among Ireland's greatest screen actors in 2020.
