- Harry Dyer was born in Hull, England. From a young age he was always a bit of an oddball and had a flare for imagination, fantasy and role-playing rather than football and sports (unlike many of his schoolmates). His game of choice growing up was 'the monster game'.
His love for comedy and making people laugh prospered at Cottingham High School, where he first began to write his own short films and sketches. This passion for performance lead him to getting a diploma in acting from Hull College, and then his Bachelors from The Drama School in Manchester; where he developed a new and deeper understanding of acting as a craft, a discipline, an art form.
After graduating in 2009 Harry went straight to work in London's West End; where he played the role of Buttons in "Cinderella". Shortly after he was cast as Newald Krutchens in "Jack the Giant Killer" (2013). In 2014 Harry won Best Actor at the Thurrock Film Festival for the award winning short film "the Loudest Minds" (which he also wrote).
Harry one day hopes to write and star in his own feature film (and also write his first novel).- IMDb mini biography by: Ellis J. Wells
- Joker Card.
- Suit Jacket.
- Has one prop or item of clothing in each film that is his own.
- Harry was born in the town of Hull and lives in Manchester.
- Also a writer, director and film maker.
- Ghostbusters is not only his favourite film but also his favourite song.
- Harry says that one thing that drove him to follow his acting dream was his grandfather. Another driving force was being told be a teacher at school, 'don't waste your time, you'll never do it'.
- Harry was always destined to be an entertainer according to friends and family. He finally took up acting at high school and went on to train at Hull college. He then was professionally trained in Manchester in 2006 - 2009.
- Being a real artist is about creating something and then presenting it to the world to do with what they will. The praise and the congratulations is a bonus.
- People get so bogged down over small things every day. When you look at the world from the point of view of an atheist, whether you are or not, life seems so short. In the bigger picture, arguments, disputes and worries mean nothing so don't waste your valuable time on them and just enjoy life because one day your curtain's coming down.
- Acting gives us the chance to be children again. We 'play' and we make stories for people to enjoy. Children don't play for money, popularity or status and neither should we. Children play because it's fun, exciting and creates new worlds and so should we.
- People say would you not just want to get a proper job or retire from it if it provided enough. How can you retire a part of yourself? Acting is part of who I am and is more real to me than sticking my head in front of an office computer living an existence for the next 5 decades. I don't want an existence I want a life. Acting is my life.
- I think one of the most important things about this profession is the ability to listen. Being a thinker gives you that capacity by default. I will always take in what I'm told by employers, mentors, peers and friends otherwise how do I learn and improve and adapt? It astounds me when I meet actors, directors or film makers who don't take note of anything they are offered because 'they know best'. I have no intention of stagnating or getting comfy. I will take the advice, the criticism and the lines of other artists and make use of what I am given.
