Harley Quinn Smith, named after the iconic Batman villainess, has made a number of appearances in her famous father Kevin Smith’s films. Her filmography includes roles in movies such as Tusk (2014), Moose Jaws (2016), and she even had her own star vehicle with Yoga Hosers (2016). Born in Red Bank, New Jersey in 1999, Harley first appeared on screen as the baby version of her father’s character Silent Bob in Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back (2001), which was Kevin’s fifth film as director.
Following a few minor roles that were easy to miss—in her father’s Jersey Girl (2004) and later in Clerks II (2006)—Harley got her first significant screen time in Tusk (2014), where she played Colleen McKenzie, a convenience store employee caught up in some bizarre events. Two years later, she reprised that role and shared top billing with her childhood friend Lily-Rose Depp in Yoga Hosers (2016), a quirky comedy-horror that followed the duo as they teamed up with a legendary hunter to stop an ancient evil from ruining their party plans.
That same year, Harley stepped outside of her father’s cinematic world for the first time to voice the character Sandra in Other Fish (2016), an animated short about a divorced mother’s daring attempt to swim through shark-infested waters. However, she quickly returned to familiar territory, reappearing as Colleen McKenzie once more in Moose Jaws (2016), the final installment of Kevin Smith’s True North trilogy.
In addition, Harley played Holly, one of three webcam girls seeking revenge against their oppressive boss, in the Halloween-themed horror anthology Holidays (2016). She also appeared in the small-screen spin-off Mallbrats (2016), portraying Banner, the daughter of Brodie Bruce. Through these roles, Harley Quinn Smith has steadily built her presence in the unique and often eccentric world of her father’s storytelling.
Harley Quinn Smith has been part of several movies, but her highest rated film to date is All These Small Moments (2018), which received a lot of positive feedback from audiences and critics alike. On the flip side, one of her lowest rated works is Yoga Hosers (2016), which didn’t quite resonate as well with viewers. While opinions can vary, these ratings give a general sense of how her performances have been received over the years. Harley Quinn Smith continues to explore different roles, and fans are always curious to see what she’ll take on next.
