HARLEY HARRISON

Harley Harrison is an actor and singer originally from outside Boston, MA. An athlete growing up, his focus shifted when at age 12 he watched the recording of Sweeney Todd with Angela Lansbury and George Hearn. Mesmerized, he dedicated himself to theater.

 

He went on to perform regularly in local and regional theater productions, and at age 15 received the Eastern Massachusetts Association of Community Theaters (EMACT) Award for his portrayal of Harvey Cheyne in Captains Courageous.

He was awarded departmental high honors and graduated cum laude. 

 

Now based in New York City, Harley is active in theater, television, commercial work, and film. He starred in the sold out cabaret Perfectly Complicated at The Laurie Beechman Theatre and then at The Triad Theatre (Stage 72). His extensive comedy work includes writing, producing and starring in a series of successful comedic web shorts featured on funnyordie.com. He also regularly works as an animation voice actor.
