He will alternate in the role with Harris Beattie (13-year-old from Aberdeen, Scotland), Kaine Ward (13-year- old from Hertfordshire), Ryan Collinson (13-year-old from Southport) and Adam Vesperman (13-year-old from Seattle, Washington, USA). He will be the 65th boy to play the role worldwide, including Jamie Bell, who played Billy Elliot in the award-winning film. In a press statement, Harrison said, "I live with my mum, dad, little brother Josh and Persian cat Rocky. I have always enjoyed sport, especially football and I was lucky enough to play for Notts County FC. Knowing how much I enjoyed dancing, my teachers at junior school suggested I took proper lessons and for over two years I managed to juggle football and dancing and was very busy. When I was eight years old I joined the Rollo Academy of Performing Arts and Freedom Movement (a hip hop troupe). I loved the film 'Billy Elliot' so much that when I saw the audition poster in my dance studio I thought I would try my luck. I took a couple of ballet lessons in preparation and six months after my first audition (and after several call backs), I was invited to do some training with the Billy team over the summer. It was shortly after this that I was told I had got the part of Billy Elliot and I was so happy I could have burst. When I first arrived in London I was a little nervous but within a couple of days I felt like I had been here for months. I am really excited about my first performance as Billy."
