Harry Shearer has one of those faces that drives you crazy trying to think of where you’ve seen it before. That’s probably because you have seen it in a lot of different places.

Harry Shearer this morning appeared on “Good Day New York,” gunning for another Grammy nomination, this time for his new album “Greed and Fear.” Check out the video of Harry Shearer on “Good Day New York,” and see how funny Harry Shearer is and how clueless one of the hosts is.

Harry Shearer, man of many faces

I do believe the first time I ever saw Harry Shearer was in the feature-length mock rockumentary “This is Spinal Tap,” released n 1984. He played the bassist, Derek Smalls. Harry Shearer has a way of disappearing so completely into his characters that it’s hard to recognize him. That’s why people often are not sure how they recognize him.

He had a small part in the super popular film “Wayne’s World 2.” Remember the radio host, not-so-Handsome Dan? Harry Shearer’s parts are often like that; memorable, big characters but tiny parts. He has been acting for more than half a century. Harry Shearer’s musical collaboration with Christopher Guest that started in “This is Spinal Tap” continued in “A Mighty Wind.” He does several voices for “The Simpsons.”
