t's a solid indicator of Ed Harris' range that within one year (1983) he could play the clean-cut astronaut John Glenn in The Right Stuff and a coldhearted mercenary in Under Fire But this short, powerful leading man, his blond hair usually buzz-cut, is nothing if not unpredictable. He was discovered by George Romero, who starred him as the King Arthur-like motorcyclist who attempts to recreate Camelot on wheels in Knightriders (1981), and also cast him as one of the grasping relatives in Creepshow (1982). Harris met, courted, and married actress Amy Madigan while working with her in Places in the Heart (1984, playing an adulterous brother-in-law) and as a bigoted Texan in Alamo Bay (1985). A perfect modern-day Everyman, Harris can carry a picture on his own, but he seems to gravitate toward strong supporting roles. He was a distraught Vietnam vet in Jacknife the underwater hero of The Abyss (both 1989), an ice-blooded New York Irish mob leader in State of Grace (1990), and a beleaguered Southern attorney in Paris Trout (1991). In 1992 he riveted audiences with his spellbinding performance as one of the unscrupulous, desperate real-estate salesmen in the allstar screen adaptation of David Mamet's Glengarry Glen Ross Recent credits include the TV movie Running Mates (1992, opposite Diane Keaton), Needful Things (1993, as a sheriff), China Moon (1994), Just Cause and Apollo 13 (both 1995).
