About Me
I’m a northern-born actor from Harrogate with a love for stories that challenge, connect, and spark the imagination. Friends often call me the “fantasy elf boy” or “hobbit storyteller,” which makes sense. I’ve spent years blending imagination and performance through acting, Dungeons & Dragons, and L.A.R.P. (Empire), creating worlds and characters both on stage and around the table. Which in turn led to a love of fantasy cartography, map making and calligraphy.
I also grew up around horses and played competitive basketball with Leeds Force U18s, experiences that shape how I approach physicality and adventure in roles. I would love to take on parts in fantasy, adventure, or historical worlds, bringing curiosity and imagination to every performance.
After graduation, I stepped back from creative work because of personal difficulties and other commitments, and I’ve since returned with a new focus in London.
My work ranges from intense roles like soldiers or the misunderstood to lighter, comedic characters, often playing the calm straight man amidst chaos. My final university role as Katurian in Case #141 (adapted from The Pillowman) demanded emotional precision and technical discipline, combining live performance with pre-recorded footage shown on stage. It remains one of my proudest experiences exploring complex characters.
On screen, I’ve appeared in a variety of short films, most recently Memories of the Present, which I co-created with S.J. Harris and Shaun Stone Riley. The film explores generational duty through the eyes of a soldier and was screened online and at The Showroom in Sheffield as part of Showroom Shorts.
"Harry's Performance was breathtaking, displaying a range of emotions as he responded to his indifferent mother, violent brother, bullying PE teacher and a strict librarian. An exceptionally poignant moment from the second Act was Harry's portrayal odd distress and despair when he discovered that his bullying, brutal brother (convincingly acted by Ben Lowndes) has killed his beloved kestrel, symbol of his independent spirit. Many in the audience were in tears for Harry's final scene where he remembers with genuine emotion the love he once shared with his estranged father." Nidderdale Herald 14.03.2012
