Character Biography[]
It is not clear at what point Harry began working at John Malkovitch C.V.I. but there is no mention of a previous coach, so the assumed date would be around 1997, when Peter joined the team. Although sometimes vulgar and vile he seems to know what hes talking about in terms of Football and even gives sound advice, i.e. "Get your dicks out of your mouths and tongues out of your pussie, we got a game to win". This advice was given prior to the teams first match on the series, in terms of the Peter/Donovan combo. On the side Harry works as an embezzler, and at some point got Wolfgang involved in his money laundering operation. Not much is said about teh opertion, but an integral part of it seems to be to murder David Dong. In episode seven he gets Peter to do this. It is later revealed that it was Davids shirt that Harry wanted, so he could smell it. This is one of many occurences involving Harry and younger characters shirts. Like Wolfgang he also enjoys the occasional crack rock, and 1990s gay song. In episode seven, he and Wolfgang swim together to the tune of Dianna Ross's "Im Coming Out".
Behind the Scenes[]
