You couldn't be more spot on. Harris was a very talented actor and, based upon the comments of his colleagues, a genuinely wonderful guy also. It's sad to see him gone, but he did make a lasting mark as Dr. Smith. He'll always be remembered fondly for that role.Β

A valuable phrase, one of which I'd be lost without in today's world!

Hi:
Thanks for your message. I'm sorry to report that the good doctor's bust is no longer being manufactured and the original sculpture (which was created using oil-based clay) was destroyed long ago.Β

Thank you!
Ah, the good doctor! I remember watching "Lost in Space" with my brother as a kid. We used to get such a kick out of Smith's bantering relationship with the robot. Such are the things that good memories are made!
And to be paid to sculpt Dr. Smith many years later was an unbelievable stroke of luck. More importantly, I'm glad that this pleasure is communicated to others like yourself. Thanks for stopping by to share your thoughts. Take care.

That show carries some of my fondest memories. And who didnt love the verbal sparring between Smith and the Robot. He had a rather interesting character arc from season 1 to 2 where he went from being a vicious saboteur to a lazy but well meaning coward. Mr Harris ended up creating something iconic with his portrayal that generations of people continue to discover.

Jonathan Harris had quite an acting career away from "Lost in Space". I've caught him in everything from "Twilight Zone" episodes to his voice over work on "Bug Story". He was a fantastic character actor who will be sorely missed. And yes, you're right: that was some trajectory for his character on "Lost in Space". Maybe he was softened up by a long-term exposure to the Robinson clan!

Yeah I followed his work for years and was tickled to death when he popped in Bug Story thinking that he had retired by that point. He was a very versatile actor and is indeed sorely missed.

Johnathan Harris, Best remembered as Dr. Smith, also remembered as the voice of Lucifer in the original Battlestar Gallactica.

Smith looks more evil like he did in early season 1.Not silly and accidentally troublemaking like in season 2&3

LOL I love it! I was just thinking about O'l Dr. Smith last week for some odd reason (proabably thinking about Penny Robinson) - Anyway - great to see he is imortalized!

I first saw this in the MAKE-UP ARTIST MAGAZINE CHAVANT Clay ad. I loved it then, and I love it now. Excellent work. Any chance to get a pull from the mold?

WOW! What a fantastic sculpture technique you have! That looks JUST LIKE Dr. SMITH! I really like Mr. Harris, but dammit if I have never seen the LiS series!!!!!
ANYWAY! Man!! I can't wrap my head around the massive detail you put into the wrinkles on his forehead, and the overall accuracy of the proprtions!

Just been checking out your website.

Hi Andy:
That site is in serious need of an update! But where to find the time? It's the same old struggle that every artist has to face: How to divide one's time between creating or marketing your work.
Thanks once again for your generous feedback. I look forward to seeing more from you also! Until then, take care.
Best Wishes,
Curt

Thanks! But I still think most of the credit for that should go to actor Jonathan Harris!

who is this in lost in space? the 1997 one? the only people i know of who were in it are Gary Oldman and Matt LeBlanc. other than that no one real famous... refresh my memory?

or was this MADE in 1997 but is of the original lost in space?

This sculpture was created by me in 1997, but is of a cast member from the original 1960s TV show.

gotcha, that made a little more sense, lol... kinda confusing since i believe the terrible movie was infact made in 97 or something. hehe. very well done, and also extremely creepy like i said.
