Pernell starred in the Fox Television Series 24 in 2001 as 'Agent Harris'. In my video interview in 2006, Pernell talks about his experience working with the cast of 24 including Kiefer Sutherland:



Pernell was Assistant General Manager at Gold's Gym on Grand Avenue in Oakland, and worked as a Sales Manager at 24-Hour Fitness in downtown Oakland.

Harris was also a singer. in 2006, he released an a album called Say-No-ism and which you can hear all of the tracks here.

Pernell was a good man who will be missed by many.
