David Harris, the actor best known for playing Cochise in Walter Hill’s pulpy 1979 thriller The Warriors, has died. He was 75.

Harris died Friday at his home in New York City after suffering from cancer, his daughter Davina Harris told the New York Times.

Harris’ Cochise is an integral member of the street gang at the center of the 1979 cult classic The Warriors. Based on Sol Yurick’s 1965 novel of the same name and directed/co-written by Hill, the movie follows a gang that travels from the Bronx to Coney Island after being falsely accused of murdering a gang leader. Harris’ Cochise stood out for having an eccentric taste in fashion.

Harris’ first acting credit came in 1976 when he played Haywood Patterson in the Emmy-nominated TV-movie Judge Horton and the Scottsboro Boys. He went on to appear in several TV series during his career, most notably recurring as Officer Donny Simmons from 1993-2002 on ABC’s NYPD Blue (watch a fan-made supercut below). He also appeared in episodes of First Wives Club, Instinct, Law & Order: SVU, ER, MacGyver and more.

In addition to The Warriors, Harris’ film credits include Brubaker, Quicksilver, A Soldier’s Story and Fatal Beauty.

While The Warriors was Harris’ most famous role, the actor also appeared on TV shows like Hill Street Blues, MacGyver, ER, Law & Order: Special Victims Unit, and a 16-episode run as a police officer on NYPD Blue. His big-screen credits include 1980’s Brubaker, 1986’s Quicksilver, and 2016’s James White.

He made his screen 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 the 1980 Oscar-nominated Robert Redford film “Brubaker.”

His other film credits include “Purple Hearts” (1984), “A Soldier’s Story” (1984), which was 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 Wives Club.”

In 2016, Rolling Stone sat down with a handful of the actors who portrayed the Warriors — including Harris — to revisit the 1979 movie and its legacy for the short film The Warriors: Last Subway Ride Home.

At the time, nearly 40 years after its theatrical release, the movie still attracted legions of fans both old and new. “It means a lot to us, because our fans are family,” Harris told Rolling Stone at the time. “It has not lost its juice in over thirty-something years.”

One of those fans, Hamilton creator Lin-Manuel Miranda — who first saw the movie as a four-year-old via a friend’s older brother’s VHS — recently followed up his Broadway smash in an unexpected way, co-writing a concept album dedicated to The Warriors; that all-star LP — titled Warriors, and revolving around an all-girl gang — was released on October 18, with Kenita Miller playing the role of Cochise.

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.
