His latest role sees him in Our Little Secret as one of two disgruntled exes who find themselves spending Christmas together after realizing that their new partners are siblings.

The film was released on November 27 and also stars Tim Meadows, Kristin Chenoweth, Katie Baker and comedian Jon Rudnitsky.

Prior to her role alongside Lindsay Lohan, Harding made her acting debut in the 2009 comedy Adventureland, starring Kristen Stewart, Jesse Eisenberg and Ryan Reynolds.

After his small film role, he landed roles in NCIS: Los Angeles and Hollywood Is Like High School With Money, before making his big break with Pretty Little Liars.

In 2010, he was cast as Pretty Little Liars’ Professor Ezra Fitz, who was the main love interest of main character Aria Montgomery (played by Lucy Hale).

The character and on-screen romance attracted a lot of attention and was deemed “inappropriate” due to the teacher-student setup.

Although the couple was initially loved up, it didn’t take long for fans to start questioning the couple. power dynamics between them.

Many viewers who have revisited the series express similar concerns regarding the main romance.

Harding remained on the show for seven seasons and even won seven of the eight Teen Choice Awards he was nominated for.

After Pretty Little Liars, Harding also featured in 2018’s Office Uprising, the 2019 biopic Ford V Ferrari, and the 2022 film The Hater.
