Robin Harris Wiki Biography

Robin Hughes Harris was born on 30 August 1953, in Chicago, Illinois USA, and was an actor and comedian, best known for his stand-up comic act “Bebe’s Kids”. He did a lot of stage performances, and also appeared in several films, such that all of his endeavors helped put his net worth to where it was prior to his passing in 1990.

How rich was Robin Harris? As of early-2017, sources estimate a net worth that was at $250,000 earned through his numerous endeavors. His sketch “Bebe’s Kids” would become an animated feature, and he was also nominated for an Independent Spirit Award during his career. He was very active, and all of these achievements ensured the position of his wealth.

In 1961, Robin’s family moved to Los Angeles and there he would attend Manual Arts High School. After matriculating, he attended Ottawa University, during which he started developing his skills for comedy. After graduation, he worked at numerous jobs including at Hughes Aircraft and Security Pacific Bank. It wasn’t until 1980 that he made his major comedy debut.

He worked at the Comedy Act Theater as a master of ceremonies throughout the mid-1980s. He developed an “old school” type of comedy that started to gain popularity and increase his net worth. Eventually, this led him to get acting opportunities, and he made his acting debut in the parody film “I’m Gonna Git You Sucka” which starred Keenen Ivory Wayans, appearing as a bartender. In 1989, he was given a role in “Do the Right Thing” which was a comedy drama directed by Spike Lee. The film was a commercial and critical success, earning numerous awards. In the film he played “Sweet Dick Willie” which was part of the neighborhood Greek chorus. A year later, he was cast in “House Party” in which he played the father of Kid. The film would become a commercial success and later became a cult classic. Robin’s next film would be “Mo’ Better Blues” in which he played a small role as a jazz club MC; the musical also starred Denzel Washington and Wesley Snipes. Another film he was a part of was “Harlem Nights” which starred Eddie Murphy, who also produced and directed it.

Robin’s most successful routine would be “Bebe’s Kids”, in which he tells that his girlfriend and her friend Bebe’s kids would go with them on dates. The kids would make a fool out of Harris or annoy him regularly. The popularity of this routine would help in building Harris’ net worth. The routine was intended to be made into a feature film, however, he passed away during production.

Instead, it was made into an animated feature that was directed by Bruce W. Smith.

For his personal life, it is known that Robin was married to Exetta Harris from 1984, which lasted until his death – in 1990, Harris passed away in his sleep from a heart attack, after performing for a sold out crowd. His death was integrated into the story lines of “House Party 2” and “House Party 3”. His wife was also pregnant with their son at his passing. A posthumous DVD entitled “We Don’t Die, We Multiply: The Robin Harris Story” was released in 2006.
