The acting roots of Steve Harris can be traced back to the wilds of Labrador, more specifically, to the tiny planned community of Churchill Falls; the place where he was born. It was here that the first seeds of theatre were planted. After winning awards for his role as Charlie Brown in a play written/compiled by his high schools drama club and participating in 8 different drama festivals over the course of 2 years, those seeds blossumed, enveloping Steve.

In a semi consiouces condition at the end of High School, Steve decided to forgo his plans to purue what he desired most. In an attempt to obtain a "real" career, Steve moved to the province of Nova Scotia to study Computer Science. A year and a half, and two post secondary instatutions later, Steve retured to his home province, feeling empty. One Month later, on the wings of pure luck, Steve began his acting Career.

From his first professional role as a pirate in 1998 to his role as Aaron in Al Pittman's "West Moon" in 2002, Steve has performed in 20 different shows. Most of his career thus far has been dedicated to helping define the arts community in the Trinity/Conception bay area of Newfoundland. In 1999 Steve helped co-ordinate a project which was implimented to inspire a resurface of the fading arts programs offered in the school system. The program filled a void by making available several workshops dealing with all aspects of theatre, music and art; Several improvisation nights and live theatre shows were offered to the public and as a company they organized the 1999 High school drama festival to a hugh success.

A couple years later, Steve would return to a lot of those students when touring a hit comedy "What's on Next" which was performed over 120 times encompasing all of Newfoundland and Labrdor.

Since leaving Carbonear, Steve has been honing his skills with the Avion Players in Gander and patiently searching to further his career. Since arriving in his new home, Steve has perfomed in two roles; Renardo J. Snogg in The Red shows and Adam in the award winning show "The complete Works of William Shakespeare (abridged)"
