Although Harris doesn't identify his character, it would seem that he is one of the film's antagonists based on his description of what he went through. What follows are a couple of excerpts.

QUESTION: So was it less hectic on the Rise of the Apes set than it was on The Green Hornet?

JAMIE HARRIS: Oh, yeah, well that was different. I was beaten up by 300 apes and Andy Serkis is phenomenal. But he really gets into character so he's dragging you around as the main ape. You're literally being thrown around everywhere and I was trying to say, 'Andy, it's a rehearsal.' But no, I was just being thrown around. So that was different, but equally as exciting.

QUESTION: He's not dressed as an ape as he's doing this.

JAMIE HARRIS: No. He has this suit on with all these green dots. But he has this...I mean, the first time he wails as the ape, it's very disconcerting. You literally thought this character was screaming at you. And then all these other guys do all these ape movements. It's quite disconcerting.

QUESTION: What do you think about them bringing the Planet of the Apes franchise back? Is it time?

JAMIE HARRIS: Yeah, I think it is. Also, the script is an amazing story. It's told very differently. It's a very humane feel to it. So yeah, I think so. Although, you know, the '60s - they were great movies. But now I think with technology and also the storyline was much more heartfelt.
