Her fears were unfounded, and she scored a role in the film.
Harris began acting professionally at Otterbein College in Westerville, Ohio, in plays such as Marsha Norman's "'Night Mother" and Anton Chekov's "The Cherry Orchard." She graduated with a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Theater in 1989 and moved to New York, where she signed with a talent agent.
