‘Scarface,' ‘Ozark' actor Harris Yulin dies at 87
(KTLA) – Actor Harris Yulin, known for his roles in 'Scarface,' 'Training Day,' 'Ozark,' and more has died at the age of 87. His death in New York City on Tuesday was the result of cardiac arrest, his family and manager, Sue Leibman, told The Hollywood Reporter. The Los Angeles native studied acting at the University of California Los Angeles (UCLA) and later made his New York theater debut in 1963 in 'Next Time I'll Sing to You.' Throughout his five-decade career, he's appeared in over 100 movies and television shows, making him a recognizable face. His resume includes roles in 'Ghostbusters II,' 'Clear and Present Danger,' 'The Hurricane,' and 'Rush Hour 2.' He appeared in the popular sitcom 'Frasier,' which earned him a Primetime Emmy nomination for outstanding guest actor in a comedy series. Later in his career, he starred in 'Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt,' 'Billions,' and 'FBI: Most Wanted.' Deadline reports the actor was preparing to start production this week to star in the MGM+ series 'American Classic' alongside Kevin Kline and Laura Linney. The project is being directed by Michael Hoffman, and Yulin's family said he was 'delighted' to be working with him. The two worked together in the 2005 film 'Game 6.' He is survived by his wife Kristen Lowman, son-in-law Ted Mineo, nephew Martin Crane, and godchildren Marco and Lara Greenberg. His daughter, actress Claire Lucido, died in 2021.

Ghostbusters star Harris Yulin dies ged 87
Harris Yulin has died at the age of 87. The actor was best known for his roles in Scarface, Ghostbusters II, and had a career that spanned more than 60 years, but he passed away on Tuesday (10.06.25) after suffering a cardiac arrest, his manager Sue Leibman has revealed to Deadline. The Hollywood star is survived by his wife Kristen Lowman but his daughter Claire Lucido - whom he had with first wife Gwen Welles - passed away herself in 2021 following a long illness. Born in Los Angeles, Harris made his stage debut in a production of James Saunders' Next Time I'll Sing to You but did not make it to Broadway until 1980, when he was cast in Watch on the Rhine. He was a regular face on screen throughout the 1970s and 1980s, and became known for his role as corrupt cop Mel Bernstein in the film Scarface but also appeared in hit movies like Candy Mountain, Fatal Beauty and Another Woman. In the decades that followed, he appeared opposite Harrison Ford in Clear and Present Danger and in Al Pacino's Looking for Richard. Harris also had a lenghty career on television, having held regular roles in How the West Was Won, the US soap opera As The World Turns, and 24 but also made guest appearances on shows such as Frasier, Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Star Trek: Deep Space Nine. In the final years of his career, he starred in episodes of the Showtime series Billions, Ozark and FBI: Most Wanted but his last on-screen appearance came in the form of the 2024 film Omni Loop. But the Broadway star had been gearing up to film a MGM+ series American Classic in the days before his death, and director Michael Hoffman led the tributes. In a statement, he said: "Harris Yulin was very simply one of the greatest artists I have ever encountered. "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."
