Harry Hamlin (born October 30, 1951, in Pasadena, California) is an American actor. Harry attended The Hill School, a private boarding school in Pennsylvania, where he played soccer and lacrosse and acted in the school's musicals and plays. Hamlin, an alumnus of the Theta Zeta chapter of the national fraternity Delta Kappa Epsilon at the University of California, Berkeley, is married to actress and television host Lisa Rinna. Between 1991 and 1993 he was married to actress Nicollette Sheridan, and to actress Laura Johnson from 1985 to 1989. 1981, he had a son, Dimitri, with Swiss actress Ursula Andress, his costar in the film Clash of the Titans.

Hamlin appeared in "Movie, Movie" with George C. Scott in 1978, but his big-screen break was a starring role in the 1981 Greek mythology epic Clash of the Titans. Afterwards, his career faltered somewhat with such box office flops such as Making Love until 1986.

It was then that Hamlin starred on the NBC TV drama L.A. Law from 1986 to 1991. In 1987, he was named People magazine's Sexiest Man Alive. After his role ended on the show, Hamlin tried to revive his movie career. However, so far he has only starred in B movies and direct-to-video features.

In an episode of Batman: The Animated Series entitled "Joker's Wild," Hamlin played the role of Keiser, a business man who sinks all his money into a casino, then counts on the Joker to destroy it in order to collect on the insurance policy from a reputable company.

In 2004, Hamlin began a recurring role on the television series Veronica Mars. He plays fading action hero Aaron Echolls, father to central show character Logan Echolls. Aaron's wife, Lynn, was played by Hamlin's real-life wife, Lisa Rinna.

On August 14, 2006, Rinna announced that Hamlin would be performing on the third season of Dancing with the Stars, the same series she was on in its second season.
