David Harbour Movies
A square-jawed, stark-countenanced actor whose features naturally projected more than a passing undercurrent of menace,
David Harbour gravitated almost by default to edgy characterizations. He debuted on-camera with appearances on television series programs including
Hack and
Law & Order: Special Victims Unit, then transitioned to the big screen with a portrayal of Robert Kinsey, a relative of controversial sex researcher
Alfred Kinsey, in
Bill Condon's well-received period biopic
Kinsey (2004), before signing for additional supporting roles in
Steven Spielberg's
War of the Worlds (2005) and
Ang Lee's
Brokeback Mountain (2005). In the meantime,
Harbour also eked out an impressive stage career, reaching his pinnacle as Nick in the 2005 Broadway revival of
Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf? opposite
Kathleen Turner,
Bill Irwin, and others. ~ Nathan Southern, All Movie Guide
