Kelvin Harrison Jr. on His Stage Debut in 'The Disappear' and Career Alignment With Jeffrey Wright

Kelvin Harrison Jr. steps into a brand-new lane with The Disappear, making his professional theatrical stage debut at Audible’s Minetta Lane Theatre.

In this candid conversation, the acclaimed actor opens up about what drew him to the stage after years of screen work, why comedy initially intimidated him, and how live theater forced him to truly take up space without apology.

Harrison also reflects on a meaningful moment in his career — working in close orbit with Jeffrey Wright, from stepping into a role tied to Wright’s legacy in The Hunger Games: The Sunrise Reaping to their shared connection on Basquiat for Samo Lives!.

From impostor syndrome to rediscovering joy in the craft, this is an honest, thoughtful look at an actor navigating growth, alignment, and a season of firsts — live on stage.

The Disappear is written and directed by Erica Schmidt and is currently running at Audible’s Minetta Lane Theatre, with plans to be released globally as an Audible Original.
