Film credits include P.S. I Love You, Bug, Memphis Belle, Little Man Tate, Copycat, Independence Day, Hope Floats, My Dog Skip and the upcoming Chilled in Miami opposite
Renee Zellweger. Connick has contributed music to several films including When Harry Met Sally (leading to his first multiplatinum album), The Godfather III and Sleepless in Seattle. Television credits include "When My Heart Finds Christmas" (CBS) and "Harry for the Holidays" (NBC); two Great Performances (PBS) specials: "Swingin' Out Live" and "
Harry Connick, Jr.: Only You in Concert" (2004 Emmy Award); "The Happy Elf" (NBC); "
South Pacific" (ABC); and "Will & Grace" (NBC, recurring role of Dr. Leo Markus). Connick has more than 25 million in album sales (When Harry Met Sally, We are In Love, To See You, Come By Me, Only You), three Grammy Awards and an Emmy Award.
