Wood was born the younger son of John and Mattie Harris, a bus driver and a housewife. His brother is another successful actor – Steve Harris – Emmy and Screen Actors Guild Awards nominee and the winner of NAACP Image Award in 2004.

Wood Harris is a well educated actor – not only that he attended Northern Illinois University form where he graduated with a Bachelor of Arts in Theater Arts, but he also obtained a Master of Arts from New York University’s Tish School. Even then he showed his potential, and a promising acting career was in front of him.

Wood’s debut and his first major role was in the film “Above the Rim” (1994) – a basketball drama in which he was given the opportunity to play alongside Tupac Shakur – one of the greatest rappers of all time. It was a superb beginning to his career and also the opening for several engagements in various off-Broadway theatrical productions. These provided the basis for his net worth.

He continued to perform well, and was cast in several notable films; in 1998 he starred in blockbusters “As Good As it Gets” with Jack Nicholson and Helen Hunt, as well as in Woody Allen’s comedy film – “Celebrity”. This is where Wood’s net worth started rising.

The year of 2000 was an important one for Harris, as he portrayed rock legend Jimi Hendrix in Showtime’s TV movie “Hendrix”, and won his first award – the New York Film Festival rewarded Wood Harris for the role of Derrick “D-Train” Trainer in Malcolm D. Lee’s short movie – “Morningside Prep” with “1st Run Best Actor”.

In the same year, Wood Harris acted in the movie “Remember the Titans” as Julius “Big Ju” Campbell – one of his most famous roles. His talent and commitment to acting was recognized again, as he was nominated for an NAACP “Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Motion Picture” award as well as “Favorite Supporting Actor in a Motion Picture” – Blockbuster Movie Award. All these roles undoubtedly, positively influenced Wood’s wealth.

Since 2002, as a well seasoned actor, he was part of the regular cast of the first three seasons and the guest star of the fifth season of HBO’s TV series “The Wire”, in the role of a drug dealer Avon Barksdale. Certainly, this involvement as his best known role, has been a main source of his net worth.

There have been some guest appearances in TV dramas “Numb3rs”, “House M.D.” and “Hawaii Five-0” and another major role in the movie “Just Another Day” (2002). Wood Harris’ most recent roles includes two 2015 blockbusters – “Ant-Man” and “Creed”.

#Quote
1My first artistic love was drawing and painting.
2We had a very normal, sort of ghetto, urban upbringing. My father was a bus driver and my mother was a seamstress and a substitute schoolteacher, off and on. So, that all adds up to no money.
3If you overdo something, you end up typecast. You always have to expand.
4With film, you can feel confident that you're doing good work, but never know what it's going to look like.
#Fact
