If you are attending tonight’s home opener, that voice you hear on the video introduction of the Sooners will be that of acclaimed actor and director Ed Harris, who began his acting career when attending the OU drama school in the 1970s.
“I have been a huge Sooners fan since the Bud Wilkinson days and very proud to be a part of this season,” Harris said. “Boomer Sooner!”
The former Sooner has been an Academy Award nominee as Best Supporting Actor for three films — Apollo 13, The Truman Show and The Hours — and Best Actor nominee for his role in Pollock.
Harris’ iconic delivery has been cast in other popular projects. He was the voice of a character in Call of Duty: Black Ops, which has become the best-selling video game of all-time since its release in November 2010.
