Harley Quinn Smith

Harley Quinn Smith was born on June 26, 1999, in Red Bank, New Jersey, to Jennifer Schwalbach Smith and filmmaker Kevin Smith. At two years old, her family relocated to Los Angeles. Initially interested in becoming a professional bass guitarist, her path shifted towards acting. She made her acting debut at a young age, appearing as baby Silent Bob in her father’s film “Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back” in 2001. She also had uncredited cameos in “Jersey Girl” (2004) and “Clerks II” (2006), marking her early exposure to the film industry.

Her acting career gained momentum with a small role in the 2014 thriller “Tusk,” where she played Clerk Girl #1. This experience solidified her interest in acting, leading to a starring role as Colleen McKenzie in its spin-off, “Yoga Hosers,” released in 2016, opposite Lily-Rose Depp. Her career progression further diversified as she embraced independent films and television roles, including playing Lindsay in “All These Small Moments,” which premiered at the 2018 Tribeca Film Festival. In 2019, she appeared in Quentin Tarantino’s acclaimed film “Once Upon a Time in Hollywood” as ‘Froggie’ and reprised her role as Milly in “Jay and Silent Bob Reboot,” a character she continued to portray in “Clerks III” (2022). These roles showcased her ability to work across various projects and with prominent directors, establishing her presence in Hollywood.

Beyond acting, Smith is also a musician, serving as the bass player and a singer in the punk rock band The Tenth, which released its debut EP “Boys We Don’t Know” in 2018 and full-length album “DUNES” in 2019. She has also engaged in podcasting, co-hosting “Vegan Abattoir” with her father, focused on veganism, and later “Beardless, D*ckless Me” on the iHeartRadio network in 2024. Her role as Mallory Higgins in the Freeform series “Cruel Summer” (2021) further highlighted her versatility and ability to lead in television productions.
