During that time, he also booked his first independent features, "The Dead Walk", and "Blood Ties: The Legend of Hammerhead", and decided to move to Los Angeles with only $360 in his pocket, and a dream.

Harrell has appeared in many faith-based and rockabilly films. He is most noted for his roles as Scott Turner in the adventure fantasy TV series "The Journeys", as Jack Pruitt in Director John A.

In 2019, Harrell appeared theatrically on stage at The Hollywood Fringe Festival in the absurd relationship dramedy, "Siren Call" which garnered an Encore Producer's Award.
