Rolf Harris (born 30 March 1930) is an Australian entertainer whose career encompassed work as a musician, singer-songwriter, composer, comedian, actor, painter and television personality.

Harris is widely known for his musical compositions "Tie Me Kangaroo Down, Sport", which later became a Top 10 hit in Australia, the UK, and the United States, and "Jake the Peg". He often used unusual instruments in his performances: he plays the didgeridoo; is credited with the invention of the wobble board; and is associated with the Stylophone. During the 1960s and 1970s, Harris became a popular television personality in the UK, later presenting shows such as Rolf's Cartoon Club and Animal Hospital. In 2005, he painted an official portrait of Queen Elizabeth II. He lived in Bray, Berkshire, England, for more than six decades.

Harris's career as a popular entertainer was ended by his conviction and imprisonment for sexual offences. In 2014, at the age of 84, he was jailed on twelve counts of indecent assault that took place between 1968 and 1986, on four female victims then aged between eight and nineteen. As a result, he was stripped of many of the honours which he had been awarded during his career, including the OA and CBE. As of 2015, Harris is serving a prison sentence of 5 years and 9 months at HMP Stafford.

Biography

Né en Australie, il est arrivé en Angleterre en 1952. Il est devenu l'un des comiques les plus appréciés de Grande-Bretagne. Il était également un excellent nageur. Certaines de ses chansons ont été des succès, et il a écrit des livres très populaires. Certaines de ses peintures ont été exposées à la National Gallery de Londres. Sa série télévisée Animal Hospital a été récompensée cinq fois. Actuellement, il présente Rolf Harris' Star Portraits et Rolf on Art sur la BBC.



Il a été choisi pour peindre le portrait de la Reine Élisabeth II pour marquer son quatre-vingtième anniversaire et la Monnaie royale d'Australie lui a demandé de concevoir une pièce de dollar commémorative de kangourou d'argent. En juillet 2008, Rolf a été installé dans le Panthéon de l'ARIA (récompenses australiennes d'industrie d'enregistrement), et en décembre 2008, il a présenté la conférence annuelle sur l'art du portrait à l'ouverture officielle du Musée national australien des portraits à Canberra.

En 2008, Rolf Harris a reçu un titre de docteur honoris causa de l'Université de Londres-Est.

En juillet 2014, Rolf Harris est condamné à cinq ans et neuf mois de prison ferme par un tribunal londonien, pour des agressions sexuelles sur quatre personnes âgées de 8 à 19 ans.
