Acting
Harrison auditioned for a role on Neighbours in 1995. She was initially unaware the character she was reading for would be Annalise Hartman's (Kimberley Davies) long lost sister, Joanna. The character was Harrison's first major television role. The actress told a writer for the Daily Mirror that it took ten months for her to feel comfortable in her new role. In February 1997, producers told Harrison they were writing her out of Neighbours. She departed on screen on 15 April 1997. For her role as Joanna, Harrison was nominated for Best New Talent at the Logie Awards.
In cinema, Harrison appeared in the Coen Brothers' Intolerable Cruelty, Robert Altman's The Company and in Street Fighter as Nicola.
In 2007 she appeared in an episode of McLeod's Daughters as Susan.

Famous quotes containing the word acting:
“More than in any other performing arts the lack of respect for acting seems to spring from the fact that every layman considers himself a valid critic.”
—Uta Hagen (b. 1919)
“It is probable that the principal credit of miracles, visions, enchantments, and such extraordinary occurrences comes from the power of imagination, acting principally upon the minds of the common people, which are softer.”
—Michel de Montaigne (1533–1592)
“It would be easy ... to regard the whole of world 3 as timeless, as Plato suggested of his world of Forms or Ideas.... I propose a different view—one which, I have found, is surprisingly fruitful. I regard world 3 as being essentially the product of the human mind.... More precisely, I regard the world 3 of problems, theories, and critical arguments as one of the results of the evolution of human language, and as acting back on this evolution.”
—Karl Popper (1902–1994)
