He and Kat almost had something once - but that was before she knew he was the secret, online, admirer that intrigued her. And Erin liked him once - for about 5 minutes. But it's trying to recapture those 5 minutes that drive him to his greatest achievement to date - writing a play that not only will impress Erin but also gets him a love scene with Laurel!

What, or who, will inspire him to make a move?

Harrison's television credits include Jack London's Call of the Wild, The Tourist Trap, Breaker High and Honey I Shrunk The Kids.
