Early life and education Harry Greenwood was born in 1989 to actor Hugo Weaving and artist Katrina Greenwood. His sister Holly (born in 1994) is also an artist. He uses his mother's surname, because his parents thought ‘Harry Weaving’ didn’t have the same ring as ‘Harry Greenwood’. He uses Weaving as his middle name.

Career In 2013, his first year after graduating from NIDA, Greenwood, 24, made his theatre debut as an angry 16 year old in the Sydney Theatre Company production of Fury. That same year he also starred in short film The Gift.

His breakthrough role was as Digger Bevan Johnson (alongside Kodi Smit-McPhee), in 2015 Nine Network miniseries Gallipoli. He also appeared in 2019 television series Bad Mothers. In 2024 he reunited with Russell Crowe in American crime thriller film Sleeping Dogs, as Richard Finn.
