REMEMBERING ROBIN HARRIS. ... DO YOU? Robin Hughes Harris (August 30, 1953 – March 18, 1990) was an American comedian and actor, known for his recurring comic sketch about Bébés Kids. During the mid 80s, Harris worked as the master of ceremonies at the Comedy Act Theater. His “old school” brand of humor began to gain him a mainstream following. Harris made a promising feature debut playing a no-nonsense bartender in the feature film Im Gonna Git You Sucka (1988). Harris also performed in director Spike Lee’s Do the Right Thing (1989). As Sweet Dick Willie, Harris served as part of the neighborhood Greek chorus that commented on the events of an increasingly tense day. Harris was Pop, the no-nonsense, quick-witted father of Kid in House Party (1990). He followed up later that year with a small turn as a jazz club MC in Mo Better Blues. He also had a role in Eddie Murphys Harlem Nights (1989).
