His first appearance in front of the camera was on various commercials before landing a spot on the popular CBC series Street Legal. The last decade has been a whirlwind with appearances on such shows as Flashpoint, The Firm, Blue Mountain State, Transporter, and many other popular t.v. shows.

Shane met up with Harold in the summer of 2006 in NYC.
