In a reflective interview with Vestal, Harrison reflects on his career and personal journey with an honesty that’s as refreshing as it is enlightening. He talks about the experience of playing Martin Luther King Jr., saying, “I found it to be really empowering to be a part of that narrative and lay out a little bit of an outline for those who are interested.”

It’s a role that resonates with Harrison’s connection with King’s legacy, both grappling with the challenge of finding their place in the world under the shadow of eminent fathers.

This personal connection extends to his acting, where Harrison seeks to find common ground with his characters, making them relatable to all. “The actor’s job is to come in and find the things we can relate to as human beings…to find the things that make them something we all as human beings can relate to,” he shares.

This approach helps Harrison overcome the imposter syndrome, a feeling he believes many people struggle with and need to overcome to embrace their path in life fully.
