Harry Allen Fawcett, situated in New Jersey, is a versatile playwright, actor, author, and educator. His career has been both remarkable and captivating, affording him opportunities to collaborate with new actors, take center stage in remarkable theatrical productions, and even craft original works.

Commencing his journey in the performing arts, Harry Allen Fawcett immersed himself in the realm of summer stock musicals at a tender age of sixteen. This initial foray led to a plethora of acting prospects. Over time, Fawcett's accomplishments encompass an impressive thirty-five national commercials and participation in numerous Broadway musicals, with his most notable role being in "Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat." However, this is merely a glimpse into Fawcett's extensive repertoire. He also had roles in notable soap operas, "The Edge of Night" and "General Hospital," the latter of which granted him a recurring part. Fawcett's portfolio also encompasses appearances in two CBS made-for-TV movies. Perhaps his most recognized contribution lies in the 1984 hit show "Puttin’ on the Hits," conceptualized by Dick Clark and MCA, which centered around lip-synching performances. Fawcett not only hosted the show but also lent his writing talents, resulting in a four-year tenure across all one hundred and thirty-four episodes.

In 1986, Fawcett opted to transition away from on-screen pursuits, though he remained committed to the realm of creativity. He co-authored a book titled "Kid Biz: How to Help Your Child Succeed In Show Business," in collaboration with the Actors’ Equity Association (Kid Biz), published by Warner Books. The book garnered acclaim for its responsible approach to the subject matter. Fawcett's co-author for this endeavor was Nancy Carson.

Subsequently, Harry Allen Fawcett ventured into the domain of acting coaching. In 1991, prominent networks such as Amblin Entertainment, Universal Studios, and Fox Network brought him aboard as an on-set acting coach. Fawcett worked diligently behind the scenes on various series. This experience culminated in the establishment of his own sound stage in Studio City, where he dedicated himself to creating top-tier reels for aspiring actors. Notable highlights from this period include the creation of a half-hour pilot titled "Office Hours" and providing creative services to Steven Spielberg as a comedy consultant and dialogue coach for "Harry and the Hendersons."
