Appearances
Born in London, Harry Eden began his acting career after seeing a performance of the stage musical Oliver!. He was particularly impressed by the role of The Artful Dodger, and began training at the Sylvia Young Theatre School, one of the most prestigious stage schools in the UK. His first jobs were in commercials, but he soon graduated to guest appearances on TV shows such as Guy Ritchie?s Lock, Stock? (2000), Helen West (2002), Casualty (2001).
Harry made his feature film debut in Pure (2002), winning a 2004 British Independent Film award as "Most Promising Newcomer" for his lead performance portraying a young boy trying to cope with his mother?s heroin addiction. He wasn't allowed to see his movie in the cinema as he was too young.
A supporting role as Nibs, one of the Lost Boys in Peter Pan (2003), followed. Harry still enjoys surfing, a sport he was introduced to by his co-star Jeremy Sumpter while they were on location in Australia filming Peter Pan.
2005 saw Harry in the role as Ben, a 12-year-old boy who tries to save his comatose sister in The Lazarus Child. And in a breakout role as Russell in Real Men (2003), where he portrays an abused boy caught in the child welfare system.
Ironically, when he was 14, Harry landed the role that initially inspired him to become an actor, playing The Artful Dodger in Roman Polanski's Oliver Twist (2005). Since them, he played a lead role in Land of the Blind (2006) opposite Ralph Fiennes and Donald Sutherland, and in Flashbacks of a Fool (2000) opposite Daniel Craig.
Harry Is dyslexic and lives with his parents in Essex, England. He enjoys playing golf and tennis in his spare time.
