R. Keith Harris of SHIFTING GEARS

Today on The Neil Haley Show, The Total Tutor Neil Haley will interview R. Keith Harris of SHIFTING GEARS.

R. Keith Harris (Dr. Carson on "The Walking Dead"). Born in Tennessee, and growing up up in North Carolina, he always knew he wanted to be a performer. That drive and tenacity has since led him to a diverse range of roles. With over 70 film and TV credits under his belt, Keith has had major roles in TV and theatrical motion pictures alongside some of Hollywoods elite, including, Robert Redford, Emma Thompson, Burt Reynolds, Mikey Rooney, and more.

In SHIFTING GEARS he stars as Tom, a man whose childhood dreams were long ago abandoned and then broken by corporate America and a desperate need to provide for his family unlike his own father. But a twist of fate brings opportunity to Tom's family in a way he'd never imagined.

Tom (Harris) is a hard-working manager at a big box super store. He started in the stock room, always imagining himself at the helm. Now poised for a big promotion, he gets the news he always feared: “No college degree, no promotion.” In the face of this new reality, and lamenting the time he devoted to work over family, Tom and his wife, Carol (Langton), decide to change course and start a family business. They pack up their kids and move to a small town to take over a run-down garage bequeathed to them by Tom’s estranged father, Clem (Drew Matthews, Paper Towns). They sink their savings into renovating the garage, only to get another unfortunate surprise - the title to the property has been contested and now must be sold at public auction, with arch nemesis Conrad Baines (Ratzenberger) poised to take over the land in the name of “economic development.”
