Harry Belden Booked Morty After Almost Quitting Acting

What does it feel like to land one of the most iconic voice roles in animation… and still not be sure what’s next?

Belden joins Tawny Platis to make friendship bracelets and talk about the unexpected path that led him to voicing Morty on Rick and Morty. From auditioning for his favorite show to navigating the pressure that comes with stepping into a beloved character, Harry shares what it really takes to break through.

While building a collection of colorful bracelets, Harry opens up about:

• The “submit and forget” mindset that helped him land Morty

• Starting out recording voiceover auditions on his phone and building a DIY booth over time

• The reality of going from a day job to a major role almost overnight

• How therapy changed his relationship with acting, pressure, and success

• Letting go of what you “should” be doing and figuring out what you actually want

Plus, Harry shares the story of how eating raw chicken before his first paid acting job made him question his entire career, his love of sci-fi and comics, and why Batman still wins every time.

The episode wraps with a rapid-fire round covering everything from favorite conventions to survival in fantasy worlds.

Every bracelet made in this episode is available for purchase, with 100% of proceeds going to The Bail Project.

Remember, every bracelet has a story, and every story helps a cause.Follow Harry Belden:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/harrybeldenactor/Web: https://www.harrybelden.com/
