Harry Ellis


Portrayed by Canadian actor Hart Matthew Bochner in the film Die Hard, Harry Ellis is one of executive Joseph Takagi's finest salesman. Bargaining millions every day for the Nakatomi corporation, Ellis proves his skills time and time again. Though slightly reliant on cocaine, Ellis still manages to look great and stay fit. At Nakatomi's 1988 annual Christmas party, Ellis sported a grey Italian suit with a white shirt and black tie. For hair, Ellis worked a side-part and (surprisingly) kept his facial hair. The look was on point, but failed to catch the attention of Holly McClane that night. Ellis’s ideal Christmas consists of dinner with McClane, “mulled wine, a nice aged brie, and a roaring fireplace.” Unfortunately, Ellis could not follow through on his dream plan because his pursuit was suddenly interrupted by a group of international thieves. Instead Ellis and the rest of his coworkers were restrained to Nakatomi's 30th floor at gun point. On the plus side, Ellis was able to score a seat next to the lovely McClane. As the evening wore on, Ellis grew increasingly impatient and foolishly believed he could prevent the thieves from harming himself and fellow captives. Though stating, "I negotiate a million dollar deals for breakfast, I think I can handle some euro trash,” his negotiation skills proved to be quite weak when trying to convince John McCane to surrender. Hans, impatient and flustered, shot Ellis in the face before he could even finish his Coca-Cola.
