Harvey Silver was born a true Aries, on April 12, 1976 and on his mother's birthday in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. He was the second child of 4 children. His mother was too young to raise both him and his sister alone, so she made a choice of putting Harvey in foster care at the age of five. He spent most of his childhood in 'Society Hill Philadelphia'. Harvey took acting classes throughout his teenage years to stay away from the streets! He also thought this would be a good way for him to express himself. Harvey became passionate about acting while performing in student plays in high school.
