Career
editHarriell made his professional acting debut in 1993 in The Repertory Theatre of St. Louis production of Six Degrees of Separation.[5] Shortly thereafter, he joined his soon-to-be wife, Marcy Harriell in New York, where he went on to perform in numerous Off-Broadway and Off-Off-Broadway productions, along with multiple film & TV roles. He also helped found and was Co-Artistic Director of Blue Sphere East theatre company with actors Christian Campbell and Kim Tobin.[6]
Rude Red
editIn the late 1990s, Harriell started making his own BBQ sauce, because "I couldn't find anything off the shelf that I liked." In 2016, his best friend from childhood, Chris Dill, tried Rude Red for the first time and was shocked at how different the sauce was from anything he had ever tasted. Dill (a professional chef) convinced Harriell that the sauce was marketable. In 2017, Harriell and Dill incorporated Rude Red LLC and began selling to the public.[4] Recently a second hotter version, Really Rude Red, was launched, and both can be found in Hannaford supermarket chains across New England, and exclusively in New York at Westerly Natural Market.[7]

editHarriell has been married to actress/singer/writer/show host Marcy Harriell since 1995.[citation needed]
