Born in North Carolina, grew up in Beaumont, Texas, Harry Goaz did not become interested in acting until after he graduated from the University of Texas. He then settled in Los Angeles and studied acting under Bill Traylor at The Loft while working as a driver. He first met David Lynch while driving him to a memorial tribute to Roy Orbison where Lynch decided to cast him for the role of the weak-willed, not-so-bright Deputy Andy Brennan in the TV series Twin Peaks. He then went on to work on the critically acclaimed Eerie Indiana. Harry is now a staple of independent films.
