'''Jonathan Daniel Harris''' ({{ne}} '''Charasuchin'''; November 6, 1914 – November 3, 2002) was an American [[character actor]] whose career included more than 500 television and film appearances, as well as [[Voice-over|voiceovers]].<ref name=A&E/> Two of his best-known roles were as the prudent accountant Bradford Webster in the television version of ''[[The Third Man (TV series)|The Third Man]]'' and the fussy villain Dr. Zachary Smith of the 1960s science-fiction series ''[[Lost in Space]]''.<ref>{{cite web|title=Jonathan Harris, 87; Bumbling Villain in TV's 'Lost in Space'|first=Myrna|last=Oliver|work=Los Angeles Times|date=November 5, 2002 |url=https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-2002-nov-05-me-harris5-story.html}}</ref> Near the end of his career, he provided voices for the animated features ''[[A Bug's Life]]'' and ''[[Toy Story 2]]''.<ref name=PopSugar/>

==Biography==
The second of three children, Harris was born on November 6, 1914, in [[the Bronx]], New York City, to [[History of the Jews in Russia|Russian Jewish]] immigrants Jennie ({{nee}} Buchowitsky) and Sam Charasuchin. His father worked in [[Manhattan]]'s [[Garment District, Manhattan|Garment District]].<ref name="aaker" /> The family lived in a six-story tenement, and his mother often took in boarders to make ends meet, giving them Jonathan's room and bed and relegating him to sleep on the dining room chairs. By age 12, he was working in a pharmacy as a stockboy.{{Citation needed |date=September 2024}} 

While there was little money for luxuries, Jonathan's father made an effort to expand his son's cultural horizons with occasional trips to see [[Yiddish theatre]] and by listening to opera on the dining room radio. Young Jonathan was enthralled. Although he could seldom afford tickets to them, [[Broadway theatre|Broadway]] plays were also an early interest. He detested his [[New York accent|Bronx accent]] and by high school cultivated an English one in its place, watching British B-movies at the arts theater. He also developed interests in archaeology, Latin, romantic poetry and [[William Shakespeare|Shakespeare]].<ref name=A&E/>

Jonathan legally changed his name from Charasuchin to Harris before entering college after a year-long standoff with his father, who disagreed with the change.<ref name=Abraham/>

===Pharmacology career===
Harris earned a degree in [[pharmacology]] from [[Fordham University]], from which he graduated in 1936.<ref name=NYT /> 

===Marriage===
Harris was married to his high school sweetheart, Gertrude Bregman, from 1938 until his death.<ref name=NYT /> They had one child, Richard, born 1942.<ref name="NYT" />

===Acting career===
====Stage====
Acting was Harris's first love. In 1939, at age 24, he prepared a fake résumé and tried out for a repertory company at the Millpond Playhouse on [[Long Island]].<ref>[https://www.localhistory.bryantlibrary.org/post/the-millpond-playhouse The Millpond Playhouse; The Bryant Library, Roslyn, New York (Local History Collection)]</ref><ref>{{Cite web |title=Sets {{!}} The Millpond Playhouse |url=https://roslynlocalhistory.wixsite.com/the-millpond-playhou/sets |access-date=2024-09-15 |website=The Millpond Playhouse|quote = "Our Town" [...] The Players [...] John Harris|language=en}}</ref>  He was hired by the director, [[Richard Brooks]], to appear in a series of 26 plays the company performed in the summer of 1940.<ref>{{cite web |title=Jonathan Harris on getting his first theater job (Television Academy Foundation: The Interviews) |url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AE67KYDWGjo |website=YouTube | date=July 28, 2016 |publisher=Google |access-date=26 September 2024}}</ref>

In 1942, Harris won the leading role of a Polish officer in the [[Broadway theatre|Broadway]] play ''The Heart of a City'', adopting a Polish accent. In 1946, he starred in ''[[A Flag Is Born]]'', opposite [[Quentin Reynolds]] and [[Marlon Brando]].{{Citation needed |date=May 2024}}

====Early television career====
Harris was a popular character actor for 30 years on television, making his first guest appearance on the episode "His Name Is Jason" on ''[[The Chevrolet Tele-Theatre]]'' in 1949.<ref>{{cite news |last1=Gaughan |first1=Gavin |title=Jonathan Harris |url=https://www.newspapers.com/clip/76349655/jonathan-harris/ |access-date=April 23, 2021 |work=The Guardian |date=December 17, 2002 |location=England, London |page=16|via = [[Newspapers.com]]}}</ref> The role led to other roles in such series as ''[[The Web (1950 TV series)|The Web]]'', ''[[Lights Out (radio show)|Lights Out]]'', ''[[Goodyear Television Playhouse]]'', two episodes of ''[[Hallmark Hall of Fame]]'', ''[[Armstrong Circle Theatre]]'', three episodes of ''[[Studio One (American TV series)|Studio One]]'', ''Telephone Time'', ''[[Schlitz Playhouse of Stars]]'', ''[[Climax!]]'', ''[[Outlaws (1960 TV series)|Outlaws]]'', ''[[The Twilight Zone (1959 TV series)|The Twilight Zone]]'', ''[[Bonanza]]'', ''[[The Rogues (TV series)|The Rogues]]'', ''[[The Adventures of Ozzie and Harriet]]'', and ''[[Zorro (1957 TV series)|Zorro]]'', among many others.

Harris landed a co-starring role opposite [[Michael Rennie]] in ''[[The Third Man (TV series)|The Third Man]]'', from 1959 to 1965. He played Bradford Webster, an eccentric, cowardly assistant. Half of the episodes were shot in London, England; the rest were filmed in Hollywood.

Harris appeared in two 1961 episodes of ''[[The Twilight Zone (1959 TV series)|The Twilight Zone]]'', including a heroic role in "The Silence", in which he ended up defending a young man challenged to be silent for a whole year at a prestigious gentleman's club. Harris also portrayed [[Charles Dickens]] in a 1963 episode of ''[[Bonanza]]''.

From 1963 to 1965, Harris co-starred in the sitcom ''[[The Bill Dana Show]]''. He played Mr. Phillips, the pompous manager of a posh hotel who is constantly at odds with his bumbling Bolivian bellhop, the [[Bill Dana]] character [[José Jiménez (character)|José Jiménez]]. [[Don Adams]] rounded out the cast as an inept house detective, a character whose distinctive mannerisms and catchphrases would soon carry over into his Maxwell Smart role on ''[[Get Smart]]''. In similar fashion, several of Harris's [[catchphrase]]s from the series, such as "Oh, the pain!", along with the character's mannerisms and delivery, became part of the Dr. Zachary Smith character on ''Lost in Space''.

Harris played a similarly pompous diplomat on ''Get Smart'' in 1970. His female assistant was named Zachary. Harris also guest-starred on ''[[The Ghost & Mrs. Muir (TV series)|The Ghost & Mrs. Muir]]''.

}}
Harris was cast over two other actors for the role of Dr. Zachary Smith, the evil and conniving enemy agent on ''[[Lost in Space]]''. The character did not appear in the original 1965 pilot episode for [[CBS]], nor did [[Robot (Lost in Space)|The Robot]]. The series was already in production when Harris joined the cast, and starring/co-starring [[Billing (performing arts)|billing]] had already been contractually assigned. Harris successfully negotiated to receive "Special Guest Star" billing on every episode.

[[Bill Mumy]] said of Harris' role in his first episode: {{Blockquote|"It was actually implied that this villainous character that sabotaged the mission and ended up with us was going to be killed off after a while. Jonathan played him as written, which was this really dark, straight-ahead villain."}}

The series was successful upon its debut and, midway through the first season, Harris began to rewrite his own dialogue to add more comedy, because he felt that his strength was in portraying a comic villain. Due to Harris's popularity on the show, [[Irwin Allen]] approved his changes and gave him [[Wikt:carte blanche|carte blanche]] as a writer. Harris subsequently stole the show, mainly via a seemingly never-ending series of [[Alliteration|alliterative]] insults directed toward The Robot, which soon worked their way into popular culture. Dr. Smith's best-known tropes included spitefully calling The Robot epithets such as "bubble-headed booby" and "clamoring clod".

According to Bill Mumy, Harris moved quickly to develop the character: {{Blockquote|"And we'd start working on a scene together, and he'd have a line, and then in the script I'd have my reply, and he'd say, 'No, no, no, dear boy. No, no, no. Before you say that, The Robot will say this, this, this, this, this, this, and this, and then, you'll deliver your line.' He truly, truly single-handedly created the character of Dr. Zachary Smith that we know&nbsp;— this man we love to hate, coward who would cower behind the little boy, 'Oh, the pain! Save me, William!' That's all him!"}}

When the series was renewed for its third and final season, it remained focused on Harris' character, Dr. Smith. While the series was still solidly placed in the middle of the ratings pack, the writers appeared to run out of fresh ideas, and the show was unexpectedly canceled in 1968 after 83 episodes, despite protests from its fans.{{Citation needed|date=July 2024}}

====Later career====
In the mid-1970s, Harris starred in live-action roles in two Saturday morning children's series, ''[[Space Academy]]'' and ''[[Uncle Croc's Block]]'', and was a well-known TV spokesman for the [[IHOP|International House of Pancakes]] (IHOP). He made several [[Cameo appearance|cameo]] and guest appearances during this period, including episodes of ''[[Bewitched]]'' and ''[[Sanford and Son]]''.{{Citation needed|date=July 2024}}

In a 1971 episode of ''[[Night Gallery]]'', titled "Since Aunt Ada Came to Stay", Harris played Professor Nicholas Porteus, an expert on witchcraft.<ref name=Juhl />

His last series guest-starring role was on an episode of ''[[Fantasy Island]]''. He also starred as the character Fagan in the first episode of the science fiction series ''[[Ark II]]''.{{Citation needed|date=July 2024}}

Harris taught drama, and was [[Chuck Norris]]'s vocal coach for many years. Norris credited Harris for teaching him "how to speak" by sticking his fingers in Norris's mouth, adding that Harris was the only person in the world he would allow to do that.<ref name=AMC-Norris/>

====Typecasting as a villain====
{{stack|[[File:Land of the Giants Jonathan Harris 1970.jpg|thumb|Harris as Mr. Piper in the ''Land of the Giants'' episode "Pay the Piper" (1970).]]}}
Although he was considered something of a cult icon for the role of Dr. Smith, Harris became typecast as a [[wikt:fey|fey]] and sometimes [[camp (style)|campy]] villain. For example, [[Irwin Allen]] cast Harris as a villainous "Pied Piper" in an episode of ''[[Land of the Giants]]''. Approached by Allen a second time, to star in a children's series, ''Jumbalina and the Teeners'', Harris turned it down.

In 1970, Harris played the role of another not-so-likeable villain, the Bulmanian Ambassador in the ''[[Get Smart]]'' episode "How Green Was My Valet". Harris was also a co-star, alongside [[Charles Nelson Reilly]], in the series ''[[Uncle Croc's Block]]'', in which Harris and Reilly portrayed malcontents producing a children's television show. Harris played the director and Reilly the titular host, Uncle Croc. In the cartoon ''[[Visionaries: Knights of the Magical Light]]'' (1987), he played lackey and sycophant Mortdred to the main villain Darkstorm.{{Citation needed|date=July 2024}}

Harris also provided the voice of the [[Cylons#Original series|Cylon]] character Lucifer, an antagonist on the original [[American Broadcasting Company|ABC]] version of ''[[Battlestar Galactica (1978 TV series)|Battlestar Galactica]]'' (1978).{{Citation needed|date=July 2024}}

====Voice roles====
Harris spent much of his later career working as a voice actor, and during it he was heard on television commercials as well as on cartoons such as ''[[Channel Umptee-3]]'', ''[[The Banana Splits]]'', ''[[My Favorite Martians]]'', ''[[Rainbow Brite]]'', ''[[Darkwing Duck]]'', ''[[Happily Ever After (1989 film)|Happily Ever After]]'', ''[[Problem Child (film)|Problem Child]]'', ''[[Spider-Man (1994 TV series)|Spider-Man]]'', ''[[A Bug's Life]]'', ''[[Buzz Lightyear of Star Command]]'', ''[[Toy Story 2]]'', and ''[[Superman: The Animated Series]]''. In the second season of ''[[Freakazoid!]]'', Harris voiced Professor Jones, who is Freakazoid's butler and serves as a parody of Zachary Smith from ''Lost in Space''.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Seibold |first=Witney |date=May 14, 2022 |title=The Daily Stream: ''Freakazoid!''

In 2001, a year prior to his death, he recorded voice work for the animated theatrical short ''[[The Bolt Who Screwed Christmas]]''. The film, Harris's last work, was released posthumously in 2009.<ref name=bolt />

====''Lost in Space'' reunion appearances====
In 1990, Harris reunited with the cast of ''Lost in Space'' in a filmed celebration of the 25th anniversary of the series' debut, at an event attended by more than 30,000 fans.{{Citation needed |date=April 2021}} Harris made a number of other convention appearances with other cast members of ''Lost in Space'', including a 1996 appearance at [[Walt Disney World]].{{Citation needed|date=July 2024}}

On June 14, 1995, Harris and other cast members appeared in ''The Fantasy Worlds of Irwin Allen'', a television tribute to [[Irwin Allen]], the creator of ''Lost in Space'', who had died in 1991.{{Citation needed|date=July 2024}}

Harris refused to make a cameo appearance in the 1990s re-imagined film version of ''[[Lost in Space (film)|Lost in Space]]'' (1998), unlike many of his co-stars in the original series. He announced: "I've never played a bit part in my life and I'm not going to start now!" However, he did make promotional appearances for the film:

* Harris reprised his role as Dr. Smith in the one-hour television special ''Lost in Space Forever'',{{Citation needed |date=April 2021}} and Harris and the rest of the surviving television cast appeared on the inside cover of an issue of ''[[TV Guide]]''.
* In April 1998, Harris appeared as a guest on the talk show ''[[Marta Kristen#Biography|Biography]]'', on which Harris fondly reminisced about his ''Lost in Space'' days, admitting he would stay up nights thinking of new [[Alliteration|alliterative]] insults for The Robot ("bellicose bumpkin," "bubble-headed booby") because he enjoyed the interaction so much.
* For an appearance by Harris, talk show host [[Conan O'Brien]] brought one of his characters, Pimp-Bot 5000 (a "robot pimp"; half 1950s’ robot, half 1970s’ street pimp), onto the set, and Harris went into character as Dr. Smith and proceeded to insult Pimp-Bot.<ref>{{Citation|last=Michael Duecker|title=Jonathan Harris appears on Conan O'Brien 1998|date=March 24, 2018|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BlU0hs5j-W0 |archive-url=https://ghostarchive.org/varchive/youtube/20211221/BlU0hs5j-W0 |archive-date=December 21, 2021 |url-status=live|access-date=April 18, 2019}}{{cbignore}}</ref>  Shying away from his usual dry, sarcastic, and often self-deprecating style, Conan confessed to Harris that he brought him on the show just to have him insult Pimp-Bot, and that the moment made his day.

In late 2002, Harris and the rest of the surviving cast of the television series were preparing to film an NBC two-hour film titled ''Lost in Space: The Journey Home''; however, the project was unable to proceed after Harris' death.<ref name="journey1" /><ref name="journey2" />

===Death and posthumous tributes===
After he had been in a hospital for a back injury, Harris died of a blood clot on November 3, 2002, three days before his 88th birthday.<ref name=NYT />

As a tribute to Harris, writer/director John Wardlaw wrote an additional scene for the film ''[[The Bolt Who Screwed Christmas]]'', which included Harris's final performance before his death. Wardlaw asked ''Lost in Space'' co-stars Bill Mumy, [[Angela Cartwright]], and [[Marta Kristen]] to contribute their voices to the film. Wardlaw described how the three actors reunited in the recording studio on June 14, 2006: {{Blockquote|"This was the first time they had all been together in something unrelated to ''Lost in Space'' and it was a blast. They listened to what Harris had recorded and there were laughs and some tears."<ref name="bolt" />}}

Nearly five years later, Harris' wife died of natural causes, at age 93, on August 28, 2007.<ref name=NYT />
