Leonard Harris

An aristocratic face and presence and a confident voice granted Leonard Harris - an acquaintance of Martin Scorsese - a significant role in Marty's classic Taxi Driver (1976), playing the potential presidential candidate Senator Charles Pallantine, a target Travis Bickle has to eliminate in order to impress the girl he wants to date (and who also happens to work for Pallantine's campaign). He has a bunch of scenes in the film but certainly leaves a mark in all of those, specially his memorable exchange with Travis in the cab.
