It is a career by which one can almost follow the development of Canada's cultural scene - for Don was present and actively involved in the launching of almost every major venture.  Don's voice was first heard on CBC radio in 1936 - the same year it commenced public broadcasting.  He first acted at Stratford the same year it began operation - and had a lead role opposite a relative unknown named Alec Guinness.

Don has worked in television since its very inception.  In television's first season alone, Don was actively involved in almost every facet of the medium - from starring in serious dramas to writing a comedy series.  Since then, Don has appeared in most major television dramatic series including: "Twelve O'Clock High", "The Outer Limits", "Dr. Kildare", "Walt Disney Presents", "Burke's Law", "Mr. Novak", "The F.B.I.", "Profiles in Courage", "Mission Impossible", "The Fugitive" and "The Man from U.N.C.L.E.".

Don Harron is also recognized as an accomplished actor on stage.  His distinguished theatre career, which began in Toronto, has taken him to all the world's major stages including Stratford, London's West End and Broadway.  He has worked with many of the great names in theatre, including: Sir Alec Guinness, Paddy Chayefsky, Joseph Papp, Christopher Plummer, Tyrone Power, Katherine Hepburn and Maggie Smith.
