His popular cast of characters includes: Quick Draw McGraw, [a mechanical outlaw that matches wits with Hollywood] and Dino the Rope-a-Saurus, which features him astride a 6 foot tall inflatable dinosaur that is as difficult to get into the roping box as many of the high strung horses of the calf ropers.

Harris loves magic and is an accomplished Illusionist and Sleight-of-Hand artist. One of his most acclaimed acts is an illusion called "Hollywood Houdini" [The Metamorphisis] ..... Hollywood magically changes places with an assistant who is locked in a box.

Sixteen year old son Brinson James accompany Harris on the road full time. Brinson joined the act as "Boogerhead the Rodeo Clown" and is the most accomplished young clown on the pro rodeo circuit. He also goes on the road doing shows with his trick roping.

Harris know that what keeps him in tune with the younger crown is that he is still a kid himself. Rodeo is the reason the kids come ... But without Hollywood and Boogerhead, the experience wouldn't be the same ...

Rocket Ryan

Rocket Ryan began his rodeo career like many, riding bulls. He quickly moved to other side of the latch working as a bullfighter doing a few small acts. His passion for entertaining soon took over and the rest is history. Rocket worked his way up through the amateur associations as a Barrelman earning praise and accolades along the way. In 2002 Ryan was awarded the Northern Rodeo Association’s Funnyman of the Year award as well as appearing in a magazine ad for Browning Arms who then became a sponsor. 2004 saw Rocket voted as the Barrelman for the World Professional Bullriders Finals and as the subject of numerous newspaper articles across the Northwest. As people started to sit up and take notice of this up and coming entertainer, Rocket Ryan began to work some bigger events such as the Montana State University Spring Rodeo three years running and some PBR Challenger Tour events that he still works to this day.

MAKING HIS MARK

2005 was Rocket Ryan’s breakthrough year as he earned his PRCA card as well as signing a contract with the CBR (Championship Bull Riding) to be their Team ASE man in the can at events televised on the Outdoor Channel. Rocket Ryan’s unique style of quick wit, unscripted humor and crowd interaction was a big hit and producers looking for something different and fresh began to call. That year Ryan worked the CBR World Finals, an honor that remains one of the highlights of his career. He was chosen to work them again in 2006 making that highlight all the more special. 2006 saw Rocket all over the country working as the Barrelman for Jerry Nelson’s Bad Boys PBR tour, as well as every televised CBR event. 2007 had Ryan all over the country working the Live Nation and George Marshall produced Enterprise Tour PBR events, and PRCA Rodeos from Montana to Texas. 2008 was another year very busy with PBR events for Jerome Robinson, Chad Berger & Lazy E events as well as PRCA rodeos like Rapid City Range Days in South Dakota and Riverside California. 2009 and 2010 brought more of the same with Rocket in the road all winter at PBR Touring Pro Events and from Spring into the Fall with PRCA Rodeos. In these 5 years Rocket has worked more than 60 PBR Events and almost 200 Rodeo performances from Montana to Texas and Coast to Coast. Runs in the Badlands Circuit, Mountain States Circuit and the Texas Circuit kept him busiest. A trip to Australia in 2010 to work the PBR Australia Tour is a highlight and that made the third country he was in just that year. A true Road Warrior, Rocket Ryan lives the Rodeo lifestyle and for him there is no Off-Season. With his high energy, new age style, Ryan is a perfect fit for Bull Riding events, but still works as many PRCA Rodeos as he can fit in his schedule. Committees looking for something different than the traditional rodeo clown who recites old jokes are noticing this entertainer who remains on the industry’s radar as one of the best.

He makes his living solely from traveling the country entertaining Rodeo and Bull Riding fans and has built a following with his unique style of crowd interaction, making the fans part of the event.
