David Harris, an actor known for his role in the 1979 cult classic ‘The Warriors’, has died.

The New York Times reports that Harris, 75, died of cancer on October 25 at his home in New York City.

He played Cochise in the celebrated film about a red-vested New York gang from Coney Island.

“The Warriors,” directed by Walter Hill (“The Driver,” “Brewster’s Millions,” “Aliens”), is based on Sol Yurick’s 1965 novel of the same name.

Some critics panned the film, but the film has been reassessed over the years.

“The Warriors” was Harris’ film debut.

In the film, The Warriors travel to the Bronx for a large meeting of various gangs, where they are falsely accused of killing a gang leader.

“We thought it was a little movie that would kind of spin and disappear, and no one would ever talk about it again,” Harris told ADAMICradio in 2019.

“I was in Hong Kong, I was in the Philippines, I was in Tokyo,” he said. “I’ve done a lot of movies, but when I get off the plane, people say, ‘It’s the guy from ‘The Warriors.'”

Born in New York, Harris found his love for acting at the High School of Performing Arts and studied at the American Academy of Dramatic Arts.

He made his film debut in the 1976 Emmy-nominated TV movie “Judge Horton and the Scottsboro Boys.” The actor later appeared in an episode of “Kojak” and in the Broadway play “Secret Service” with Meryl Streep and John Lithgow.

After “The Warriors,” Harris had a role in Robert Redford’s 1980 Oscar-nominated film “Brubaker.”

His other film credits include “Purple Hearts” (1984), “A Soldier’s Story” (1984), nominated for Best Picture; “Quicksilver” (1986), “Fire with Fire” (1986) and “Fatal Beauty” (1987) with Whoopi Goldberg.

Harris’ TV credits include the 1990 TV movie ‘Attica’, ‘MacGyver’, ‘NYPD Blue’, ‘The Equalizer’, ‘Hill Street Blues’, ‘ER’, ‘Law & Order: Special Victims Unit’, ‘Elementary’ and ‘First Women’s Club’.

The actor is survived by his daughter, Davina Harris; his mother, Maude Marie Harris; sister Jeannette C. Harris-Zwerin; brothers Arthur A. Harris and Vincent J. Harris; and two grandchildren.
