Johnny Harris first burst onto our screens in 2006 in the highly acclaimed British film London to Brighton. The film was voted into Time Out Magazine’s ‘100 Greatest British Films of All Time’ and celebrated British director Shane Meadows said of Harris’ performance in the film: “It’s an incredibly bold and massively powerful performance, the best I’ve seen on celluloid for a long time.” He went on to star in Shane Meadows cult television series This Is England ’86 receiving BAFTA and Royal Television Society Award nominations for his performance. The final episode of This is England ‘86 was recently named: ‘The Greatest TV Episode of All Time’ by The Independent Newspaper. In 2017, Johnny made his debut as a screenwriter with the highly acclaimed feature film, Jawbone. Harris also starred in and co-produced the movie. He received a BAFTA Film Award nomination for Outstanding Debut, two BIFA Film Award nominations for his performance in the leading role, and a Writers Guild Award nomination for his screenplay. Song-writing icon Paul Weller composed and recorded the soundtrack for Jawbone (his first) and in October 2018, Johnny made his debut behind the camera, directing music videos for Paul’s hit singles, 'Gravity', and 'I Woke Up'.
