Yulin died Tuesday of cardiac arrest in New York City, his family and manager, Sue Leibman, announced. A memorial is scheduled to be held at a later date, according to multiple media outlets, including In the weeks leading up to his death, the California-born actor was preparing to start production on the Michael Hoffman-directed series “American Classic,” which was to star Yulin, together with Kevin Kline and Laura Linney.
“Harris Yulin was very simply one of the greatest artists I have ever encountered,” Hoffman said in a statement to USA Today. “His marriage of immense technique with an always fresh sense of discovery gave his work an immediacy and vitality and purity I’ve experienced nowhere else. “And what he was as an actor, he was as a man, the grace, the humility, the generosity. All of us at ‘American Classic’ have been blessed by our experience with him. He will always remain the beating heart of our show.” Over the course of his career, Yulin played more than 100 roles on stage and the screen, including his extensive work on Broadway. The veteran actor was born on November 5, 1937, in Los Angeles, but made his acting debut in New York, performing on stage in “Next Time I’ll Sing to You” in 1963. His film debut was in 1971’s “Doc,” where he played Wyatt Earp opposite Stacy Keach’s Doc Holliday. His Broadway debut happened in 1980 in “Watch on the Rhine.” He later returned to the big stage for big productions such as “The Diary of Anne Frank,” “The Price,” and “Hedda Gabler.” He then landed one of his most memorable roles of his career in Brian De Palma’s “Scarface” in 1983, where he played corrupt police officer Mel Bernstein. In 1989, Yulin landed another coveted role as Judge Stephen Wexler in “Ghostbusters II.” The following decade, he displayed his vast range for both thrillers and comedies, where he played corrupt national security advisor in the Harrison Ford 1994 movie “Clear and Present Danger” and then acting alongside Rowan Atkinson in 1997’s slapstick movie “Bean.” Yulin also appeared in other roles such as a lawyer of a boxer in 1999’s “The Hurricane,” a secret service agent in 2001’s “Rush Hour 2” and Detective Doug Roselli in “Training Day.” The beloved actor made his mark in television as well, appearing in a string of shows such as “Star Trek: Deep Space Nine,” “24,” “Buffy the Vampire Slayer,” “Fraiser,” and “Entourage.” In the early 1970s, Yulin had a public relationship with Faye Dunaway. He was married to actress Gwen Welles from 1975 until her death in 1993 from cancer. He then married actress Kristen Lowman in September 2005. She survives him, as does son-in-law Ted, nephew Martin and godchildren Marco and Lara. He’s also predeceased by his daughter, actress Claire Lucido.Grammy-Award winner’s home invaded with his 3 kids inside, nanny sprayed with bear mace If you purchase a product or register for an account through a link on our site, we may receive compensation.and agree that your clicks, interactions, and personal information may be collected, recorded, and/or stored by us and social media and other third-party partners in accordance with our
