Harry Shearer has been part of the American comedy scene for most of his life. As a child actor he traded barbs with Jack Benny and Lou Costello. He was an early version of Eddy Haskell in the un-aired original TV pilot of Leave it to Beaver. Most of us become big fans with his work starting in the 1980′s as a cast member of SNL, one third of Spinal Tap, and a regular in Christopher Guest’s improv feature films. And of course Harry provides the voices for many residents of Springfield USA on the long running Simpsons TV series. While his previous two features he directed were satirical comedies (Portrait Of A White Marriage and Teddy Bears’ Picnic) he newest is a tough, straight-forward documentary on post Katrina New Orleans, The Big Uneasy.
Shearer narrates the film as he walks through the streets of New Orleans, a city where he keeps a home.
