Bobby Rhea Harwell (born August 22, 1931) is an American actor and producer.

Biography

Harwell was born in Nashville, Arkansas.[1] Before serving four years in the Air Force, which included a year in a combat hospital group in Korea, Harwell served in the merchant marines. His service there included an adventurous trip to India on a Swedish freighter that caught fire. After his military service he attended and graduated from the University of Arkansas.

Harwell spent the next twenty years in an eclectic potpourri of employment that included commercial fishing, drapery hanging, driving cabs, working in a skid row blood bank, and teaching school in a Miami ghetto. In the early 1980s he began print modeling which led to TV commercials. He then landed three small roles on Miami Vice. From there he moved to Hollywood where he continued to model while acting in many more TV commercials and doing small parts on TV and in films (see IMDb.com).

He produced one low budget movie which was slated to be shown in the New York Film Festival on September 11, 2001. Needless to say, it was postponed. Harwell has published one novel, Flawed, which is partly based on his experiences in Hollywood and is currently working on his second book. He lives in Hot Springs Village, Arkansas.
