Ralph Harris is one of today’s hottest comedic and acting talents! He made his feature film debut in DREAMGIRLS, a film that has struck gold (of the Golden Globe variety). Ralph kicks off the movie as the Detroit MC that helps Jamie Foxx hook up with the Dreamettes. Ralph recalls with special fondness the nearly fifty takes needed to perfect his character’s "gentle caress" of Beyonce Knowles’ well-known bootylicious behind. But really, who’s counting?
Not one to slow down, Ralph has continued his film career momentum, immediately landed his second feature film role in this summer’s release EVAN ALMIGHTY starring Steve Carell and Wanda Sykes (no word on whether Ralph’s gentle caress of Wanda’s behind made the final cut).
Ralph’s jump to the big screen comes after years of successful television work, including appearances on Seinfeld, Parenthood, Nick Freno, Living Single and In Living Color. No stranger to late night, Ralph has been featured on The Tonight Show Starring Jay Leno and Late Night with Conan O’Brien. However Ralph is probably best known for his starring role in the ABC-TV sitcom "On Our Own," which aired during the immensely popular TGIF block on Friday nights, and which currently airs in syndication on TV One.
You can also watch Ralph on TV in airings of his two previously recorded Cable TV specials - Comedy Central Presents and the HBO Half-Hour Comedy Special. He was a top five finalist on NBC’s "Last Comic Standing" and out on the road with its tour.
When he’s not filming, Ralph continues to tour the country and perform to sold-out audiences as a stand-up comedian, his first career and love. Ralph’s comedy is character driven, and is influenced by many of the greats, including his idols Bill Cosby and Jonathan Winters.
Born and raised in Philadelphia, Ralph spends what little time he’s not on the road at home in Los Angeles. To find out more about Ralph, please visit his website, www.ralphharris.com.

Wisdom, beauty, and strength is what I see when I see you. When you see yourself, you see success, accountability and strong-will. When others see you, know that they see hope and attainability. When God sees you … he sees his Masterpiece. He loves you unconditionally. I stopped by to remind you that he has everything concerning your life in the palm of his hands… trust that when the road gets bumpy … around the curve, it will be smooth again … thank you for resting in him and letting him carry you to your highest level of expectancy. Remain confident my friend in knowing that greater blessings are on the way …
