Saw him playing the role of a mentally disturbed guy in the play "On An Average Day" at Comedy Theatre London. Amazing actor this guy is.......we were glued to the seat throughout the otherwise predictable and mediocre play!! Took a few snaps of Woody at the end, will post it here if they come fine...
Starting the journey with a childhood as horrible as the darkest nightmare (his father, Charles Voyde Harrelson, went to prison, convicted of murder of a federal judge when Woody was only seven), Woody has achieved the status of a much-acclaimed actor who is arguably the best-fit for dark comedies and decaying drama. He started his career in New York theatre as an understudy in Neil Simon's 'Biloxi Blues'. Then came the hit TV series, "Cheers". During following years Woody appeared in many theatres few of which he wrote also. His film career began with a few run-of-the-mill movies like 'White Men Can't Jump', 'Cowboy Way' and 'Money Train', but he drew serious attention when he appeared in Oliver Stone's controversial movie 'Natural Born Killers'. But it was the all time great movie 'The People vs. Larry Flynt' that gained him the huge critical acclaim. Other than acting he is into various environmental activities, and has been honored for his activism by such environmental groups as: American Oceans Campaign, Rainforest Action Network and the Colorado Hemp Initiative Project.
