In 2009, Harry made his film debut starring opposite Academy Award winner Geena Davis as her on-screen son in the acclaimed film Accidents Happen, proving himself to be one of Australia's most exciting new young actors.

He has played Banquo in Macbeth, the lead role of Tom in the Australian premiere of Mark Ravenhill's groundbreaking play Citizenship at Studio 1 at The Wharf in Sydney, and Mark Cohen in the limited season of the Broadway smash hit RENT.

Harry has also been part of Playlist 2018 & 2019 readings directed by Kate Gaul and has written for various publications including The Huffington Post, The Big Smoke, and The Guardian. His debut memoir, Pink Ink, was released by Finch/Harper Collins in September 2018 to rave reviews.
