Max Harrison is a recent graduate of the Pace University BFA Acting program in the class of 2026. He’s been lucky enough to star in three MainStage Productions in his time at Pace. Ranging from new works like Pumpernickel, written and directed by Keelay Gipson, to The Seagull by Anton Checkhov, directed by Grant Kretchik.

He’s originally from South Florida and was reared in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. He graduated high school in Baton Rouge and soon moved to Orlando for college in the infancy of the pandemic. It was there that he discovered his passion for acting, and it’s been a love of his ever since.

“There is something beautiful about being able to experience all of life, the joys and the sometimes difficult-to-swallow, in a single moment. An utterly unique, yet ever-fleeting moment.”

His strengths range from heightened language to classic comedy and improv. He is an advanced level improviser with a knack for comedic work. He draws the inspiration for his style from comedic legends such as Jim Carrey and Steve Carell.
