Actor takes on role of a lifetime serving in Army

Spc. Cedric A. Harris, a radiology specialist at DiLorenzo Health Clinic in the Pentagon, once called Hollywood home.

In 1993, Harris graduated from Julliard School. Actress Viola Davis and other luminaries were in his "Group 22" graduating class, he said.

For the next several years, he traveled between New York and Los Angeles, appearing in a number of TV shows, including "New York Undercover," "Chicago Hope" and "As the World Turns." He also appeared in theatrical presentations, including "Shakespeare in the Park."

Over time, Harris became discontented with acting because of the "grueling road trips" and because the lifestyle was "hard on relationships," so he made a career switch.
