"Who is Harrison Wright?"

Harrison Wright:

 The Greatest 'Grumble-Mumbler' Who Ever Lived

OK, so we have another Gladiator that we rarely discuss - Harrison. Who is he? What do we know about him? Where is his storyline going? Let's take a look at Liv's other "ride or die" guy... the fast talking, monologue whispering, gladiator heartthrob - Harrison Wright.

Here's what we know about Mr. Harrison Wright so far....


1. He's a lawyer... and a fast talker!

So one thing we learned early is on is that Harrison is a skilled attorney. His slick-tongued fast talking comes in quite handy in a courtroom, as we witnessed him represent Quinn - or rather, Lindsey Dwyer-  in her murder trial and get her a not-guilty verdict! For all legal matters and loopholes, Harrison is the gladiator you want on your team. #SlickyRickyWhatTheyCallHim

2. He is fashionable.

This one is easy. I mean seriously... Harrison is one of the best dressed men on television right now. (stay tuned for my style analysis on Harrison in coming weeks!) Even in a scowl, Harrison remains to be fly!

3. He has a murky past.

His sticky past is why he is so devoted to Olivia. She bailed him out of a seemingly hopeless situation that, apparently, is worth his undying devotion for the rest of his life. We know he was in prison.Columbus Short says in a Season 3 interview, " “My back-story is coming. It’s coming like a yeti out of the woods!” he laughed. “It’s crazy!” "

4. He is in eminent danger.

Adnan Salif is baaaaaaaaack.... and he's looking for ya boy H-Dub! Seriously though, in episode episode 6, Icarus, we learn that someone has a personal vendetta for Mr. Harrison Wright, and it's got poor Harrison all shaken up. Harrison tells Huck that if this ghost of Harrison's past is able to get a visa, then he’s a dead man. Huck does some stealth illegal stuff, as usual, and deletes Salif’s visa application. The wheels turn again after a small lovers' quarrel between Harrison and Cyrus leaves Harrison in the dark about the fact that Cyrus green lit the via process for Adnan Salif again! I wonder where the writers' room is going to take this.

5. He would probably take a bullet for Liv.

Harrison is one of the most ride-or-die characters on television. While Liv certainly has Huck to take out the trash and clean it up, she's got Harrison who's like a hungry pit bull chained to the gate in the front yard. Harrison stays ready to go to battle for Olivia, and that "thug-life-ride-or-die" quality alone is why he's such a crowd favorite!

Do we like him? Do we hate him? Do we care?
