Harris's daughter confirmed the actor's death to the New York
Times, revealing he died last Friday at his home in New York City
following a battle with the disease.
He was best known for playing headband-wearing Cochise in the film,
which saw gangs famously fight it out on the gritty, 70s-era streets of New
York.
Harris got his big break as a result, before going on to grace several
more films throughout the 1980s, '90s and 2000s. On TV, he appeared in episodes
of Law & Order and NYPD Blue, along with ER and Law & Order:
Special Victims Unit.
He also held cameos on successful shows at the time such as MacGyver,
and later Profile and Mike Hammer, Private Eye.
In the 2000s, he had more TV success with ER, NYPD Blue, and Law
and Order, before reprising his role as Cochise for both Warriors video
games.
He also appeared in a 2015 documentary that looked into the Warrior's massive
impact nearly 40 years later, before appearing in his last two films the
following year.
He held two small parts in the TV series Instinct and First Wives Club
in 2018 and 2019, respectively, before calling it quits on an illustrious
career.
Harris is survived by his daughter, mother, sister, two brothers, and
two grandchildren.
