Bio
Errol Trotman Harewood
Errol Trotman Harewood is a British actor of Guyanese heritage who has lived and worked in Germany for over three decades. He began his stage career in 1992, starring in B.M. Coltes’ Black Battles With Dogs (Kampf des Negers & der Hunde) at Stadttheater Gießen, earning critical acclaim. He went on to perform at major German venues including Kammerspiele Düsseldorf, WLT, Städtische Bühne Münster, and Neue Elbphilharmonie, as well as internationally in Amsterdam, Moscow, Luxembourg, Vienna, and London.
His film breakthrough came in Straight Shooter (1998), opposite Dennis Hopper. He has since collaborated with renowned directors such as Roman Polanski and Edward Berger, and producers including Michael “Bully” Herbig and Hendrik Verthé.
Errol played General Jackson in the International Emmy-winning Deutschland 83 and has appeared in high-profile projects including The Legend Hunters (dir. Simon West & Yifan Li, Wanda Studios) and Homeshoppers Paradise (dir. Nancy Mac Granaky-Quaye, Ziegler Film). His recent credits include The Internship (dir. James Bramfor, SPIP) and A Simple Drama, the debut feature by Wero Rodowicz, supported by Swiss Films and presented in the Coming Soon section at the 2025 Cannes Film Festival.
Beyond acting, Errol is a classically trained percussionist and singer (jazz, soul, R&B, blues), having studied at the Royal Military School of Music in London. When not on set or stage, he performs regularly in Berlin’s live music scene.
