Harry Macqueen is an English actor, writer, and director. He trained at The Royal Central School of Speech and Drama in London. His professional acting debut was in Richard Linklater's 2008 film Me and Orson Welles, where he played 1930s Broadway star John Willard. Other credits include Jed Quinn in EastEnders and Peter in the feature film Provenance, for which he won Best Supporting Actor at the 2017 Madrid Film Festival. Hinterland was his debut feature film as a writer and director. It was nominated for Best British Feature at Raindance Film Festival 2014 and in three categories including Best Debut Film at the Beijing International Film Festival 2015.
