​Forrest Harding
Actor - Voice Artist - Puppeteer
Hi there!
I'm an actor, voice artist and puppeteer based in New Jersey. You may have seen me in the squeaktastic role of CHICA THE CHICKEN on "The Chica Show" (as seen on NBC) or maybe you heard me as HATTY THE HAMSTER on NBC Kids' "Ruff-Ruff, Tweet & Dave." I'm also a writer, producer and musician who has been working on both sides of the camera for about 20 years.
I lived and worked for many years in LA (that's Los Angeles, not Louisiana), doing mostly commercials and sketch comedy. I even played in an 80's cover band called American Cheese. Eventually I got sick of the beautiful weather, scenic landscapes and amazing Mexican food and decided to come back to where I grew up... New Jersey!
Since coming back East, I've been lucky enough to be part of some exciting pre-school programming. In addition to playing "Chica" on The Chica Show, I voice the character "Cap'n Tony" on Noodle & Doodle (seen on NBC and Sprout) as well as playing several characters on The Sprout Sharing Show.
I hope you'll check out my reels, there for your viewing and listening pleasures.

Thanks for stopping by,
FORREST
