AN actor from Wrexham has returned home following his successful move to the US to pass on his skills where it all began.

Harrison Tipping, 24, was born and bred in Wrexham before deciding to pursue his passion of acting.

After attending the Delta Academy in Wrexham's Caia Park at nine-years-old where he first recognised his acting talent, Harrison decided to move to the US to turn his dreams into a reality.

At 18, he moved abroad and attended the world-famous Stella Adler Studios in New York where Marlon Brando and Robert De Niro trained. Harrison graduated in 2022 and has worked professionally in film and theatre ever since.

He particularly enjoys drama and more serious works and genres and hopes to broaden his horizons as he gains more experience.

 

Harrison's latest project 'Protocol 7' is due to be released later this year on May, 31.

The film will premiere in New York City and Harrison plans on attending the red carpet with his fellow cast and production team.

Harrison said: "I worked opposite Eric Roberts, brother to Julia Roberts, and Matthew Marsden, a fellow British actor. 

"I also wrote, directed and acted in my own short film 'Stand To' which won best acting duo at the New York International Film Festival, as well as being shared through the Veterans Foundation for focusing on issues of PTSD in the military."

Currently back in Wrexham doing workshops at the Delta Academy, Harrison said he often returns home as it's where he started his acting journey.

He continues: "I love coming back to teach children and share my stories of my career so far.
