Harris died of heart failure on October 17, 2004 at the age of 81, leaving behind his daughter Kimberly and son Gideon.
reception
In Hollywood , Julius Harris is seen as a pioneer of Afro-American acting, the Los Angeles Times quoted his colleague Halle Berry as saying:
"His work helped African Americans break out of stereotypical movie roles and be seen as dynamic heroes and fully realized human beings."
"His work helped Afro-Americans break out of stereotypical film roles and be perceived as dynamic heroes and full-fledged people."
In 2003, a year before his death, the Next Generation Council of the Motion Picture & Television Fund dedicated the fifth annual Legacy Film Series to him , an event that was less about the screened film James Bond: Live and Let him die than more about himself.
