From K-5th grade, attended St. Anselm, a private Catholic school on the south side of Chicago.
Huge admirer of the late Pat Summitt - legendary basketball coach of the TN Lady Vols. Began a tradition of wearing a Pat Summitt t-shirt on the first day of shooting for every project he works on. The tradition continues to this day.
His first stage performance was in a play about Benjamin Banneker. Harvey was 11. He played George Washington.
Performed his first voiceover at age 15. Wanted to be a network promo announcer like his idols Danny Dark & Ernie Anderson.
Resonant voice has been featured in over 3,000 voiceovers including narration, commercials, & promos.
Graduated from the University of TN with a degree in Communications (Radio & TV Broadcasting) where he was a member of the Forensics & Debate Team.
Is a life long bachelor - which is ironic considering his parents, his biggest role models, have been married for over 55 years.
Worked as an educator in the GA & CA public school systems where he was known as Mr. Harvey. The students & staff would often mention his protective quality (some students might say over protective). As one administrator said, "When Mr. Harvey's around I know that everything's gonna be alright. That protective quality may explain why he's been cast as a police officer or federal agent more than any other character.
