Jan 11 Episode 253: Michelle Harrison

Michelle Harrison has portrayed Nora Allen on The Flash for all of its nine seasons. Being Nora Allen is a big responsibility: Nora’s untimely death in the pilot is the event that sets everything in motion. Nora is seen in multiple timelines, as the embodiment of the Speed Force, and as the ultimate representation of motherhood, love, and sacrifice – and the woman who portrays her contains just as many multitudes. Michelle’s lengthy list of credits includes inventive sci-fi like Continuum and The Magicians and Eureka, crime procedurals like Take Two, family dramas like When Calls the Heart, seasonal fare like The Christmas House and The Christmas House 2: Deck Those Halls, and thrilling works that defy genre, like Zach Lipovsky and Adam B. Stein’s critically acclaimed feature, Freaks. Soon she’ll be seen acting opposite her Flash colleague Jesse L. Martin in Re: Uniting, the highly anticipated feature film directorial debut from Laura Adkin. In this fascinating conversation with Sabrina Rani Furminger, Michelle talks time travel, finding her mark, working with Jesse L. Martin in two projects, and her nine years in Nora Allen’s pink sweater.
