Released on May 31, Protocol 7 features Eric Roberts, brother to Julia Roberts, and Matthew Marsden, a fellow British actor.

The thriller was written and directed by none other than Terry Rossio, American screenwriter, producer and co-writer of the classics Pirates of the Caribbean, Shrek and Aladdin, to name but a few.

After being released in Regal Cinema's across north America and Canada, Harrison is delighted with the feedback on his performance.

Substack's review by John Leake reads: "British actor, Harrison Tipping, delivers what struck me as the film's best performance - that of a Merck lab scientist who is a willing participant in the fraud, but also one who is tormented by his recognition that he is debasing his work and talent in the service of an ugly lie."

Rotten Tomatoes has scored it with an audience rating of 96%, with the film being praised for its "suspense, pathos, terror and joy."

Harrison said: "The whole thing was such a thrill. Being able to see the film in the cinema after waiting for so long was so worth it.

"Having had the opportunity to work with such a great crew and cast and see them again was a delight and being able to watch the film with Terry Rossio the Co-writer of the film was an honour and chatting to him after the showing about his process as a writer and mine as an actor was a very special moment for me in my career.

"I also flew my mum out to Los Angeles for the premiere there and she was able to watch it in cinema along with a full audience. An experience I'll never forget."

The 24-year-old moved to New York to pursue his dreams of being an actor after being born and bred in Wrexham.

After attending the Delta Academy in Wrexham's Caia Park at nine-years-old where he first recognised his acting talent, Harrison decided to move to the US to turn his dreams into a reality.
