"I'm in a play on Broadway, I have an animated TV show coming up, I have a few movies that just came out"
About this Quote
The subtext is control. Child stars are famously treated as punchlines or cautionary tales, and Harris spent years climbing out of the Doogie Howser box. This kind of sentence is a counterspell: not “I used to be,” but “I’m currently,” multiplied. It also signals legitimacy in a specific show-business hierarchy. Broadway is cultural capital; animation suggests reach and branding; films deliver scale. Put together, it’s a strategic triangulation: serious, popular, ubiquitous.
Context matters because Harris emerged as a rare case of reinvention-by-overexposure, later turbocharged by sitcom fame and award-show hosting. In that landscape, busyness becomes a form of credibility and a shield against irrelevance. There’s a faint anxiety under the brag: if you stop listing projects, the industry stops listing you.
