Steve Harris (actor)

Steve Harris (born December 3, 1965) is an American actor. He has played Eugene Young on the legal drama The Practice. Quotes I’ve known Dylan Brown for over seven years now. He presented this story to me when it was in script form, and we were hopefully going to try and do it as a movie, and I was helping him to do that. Unfortunately, I wasn’t able to get that accomplished for him. Then, years later, Shondaland jumped in and wanted it as a podcast. I’ve always been tied to the project with him whenever he wanted to get it done, and I was just happy that we were able to do it. It’s a great piece. And I enjoyed getting the chance to play in podcasts, which is different for me. But to be perfectly honest, I’m hoping that at some point they also turn this into a visual art as well, because I think it more than holds its water. I’ve played some animated characters and done some voice work for commercials, but this was my first time in the podcast world. It was quite a bit of fun. … It was a lot of fun, actually. The topic might not have been all of that, but working on the topic was fun. Having been with the material for so long, it was great to have the opportunity to give it legs and do different interpretations beyond what was originally created. I also had a head start in developing Jayce into what I wanted him to be, having known the script for so long. It was a great process getting to play with these other actors with just sound and no camera. I’m always living in the moment, and that will never change, but when you’re acting on a stage or in front of a camera, you have the benefit of facial features and hand gestures, body movements. An audience both sees you and hears you, and for the most part, those are the only two senses that create all of your reactions. With this, you only have sound, so when you may think you’re doing it — performing a particular emotion — you’re not. So, I have to understand that even though in the moment I’m living it as the character, nobody’s seeing my features, my gestures. So, I still need to make sure the listener hears and feels these gestures just by using my voice. There are so many levels to him and so many different people he has to be because he just can’t reconcile with what he is. That fascinates me because I think that’s how people are in everyday life. People have a hard time reconciling what they are and so they create a lot of other things to be or do. Some people live in the highlights of their lives, so if your highlight was in high school, you’re still talking about your high school basketball or football accolades all the time. Every time you meet them that’s all they bring up. But you have to press on, and in this situation, it was inescapable for Jayce, and he had to press on because of the situation he was put in. I’m designed as an oxymoron. It was quite an endeavor, to say the least. I will say this, though — football is a team sport. I can hate your guts even if you’re on my team, but when we play against another team, I’m there as if I’m your brother, no matter what. There’s an obligation to the team to play your position and make the play and do whatever it takes and support the team and all its members, especially during game time. And my friends, the football players, they did come to see me act. The theater people never came to see me play ball. I think one time. It was one time a theater friend came to a game. That showed me a real difference in what was going on in the two realms. Dylan wrote this before George Floyd’s death. Now, we’ve had George Floyd and several other events similar to George Floyd that have come out in the media. You can’t run away from the heaviness of that, but I don’t view #Matter as a heavy subject. What the police do, it’s normalized now. And I don’t think what people get when they talk about the police force is that police forces aren’t connected. They are independent. All of them are independent, and they are not one sole entity under the same umbrella. So, we have all of these incidents all across the country, and what it says to me is this is what’s being independently taught in all those places because they’re all having the same occurrences.
