His maternal grandfather is playwright and novelist, Michael Frayn. Jack has an identical twin brother, Finn, who is two minutes older, and a younger sister, Emmy Lou.

Jack as an Actor
In 2006, Jack made his professional acting debut at the age of thirteen, playing the son of Brendan Coyle in the dramatic ITV television movie, Perfect Parents. The following year, he appeared as "Barry" in an episode of the BBC comedy programme, Comedy: Shuffle.
In 2008, Jack joined the cast of the Channel 4 teen sketch comedy programme School of Comedy. The programme, inspired by a performance given by Jack and his classmates at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe, first aired as a pilot on the long-running Channel 4 showcase, Comedy Lab, before being picked-up as a stand-alone programme that lasted two seasons. On the programme,Jack portrayed a variety of characters in various comedy sketches, including appearing alongside his twin brother, Finn who portrayed his "clone" in two segments.
In 2011, Jack appeared as the love interest of Abigail Hardingham in a KFC commercial.
Jack as a Vlogger
In July 2011, Jack started his own YouTube channel, JacksGap as a way of documenting his gap year for his family and friends after finishing high school. When recounting how he began his YouTube channel, Jack explained, "The idea of connecting with an audience out of my bedroom just blew my mind – and I wanted to give it a go. I thought nobody would watch a random kid making movies, and for four months, nobody did. Then I put Finn in a video and the views suddenly shot up.” Jack appears in every video, while Finn appears intermittently and is responsible for the logo and branding for the channel.
In April 2012, JacksGap hit 10,000 subscribers and Jack was invited to become a YouTube Partner. The revenue generated from his channel was soon "double" what he had previously earned at his retail job at Apple and enabled him to travel during his gap year. The video content on JacksGap ranges from vlogs and comedy sketches, to bungee jumping, unicycling and making balloon animals, as well as documenting the twins' travels to Rome, Ibiza and Thailand. In addition to appearing alongside his brother, Finn, Jack's videos have also featured other notable YouTube personalities, including Sam Pepper (OfficialSamPepper), Caspar Lee (DiCasp) and Tyler Oakley (TylerOakley), among others.
As of January 2013, JacksGap has over 900,000 subscribers and over 40 million video views. He also does a live broadcast on YouNow with his brother Finn (almost) every Sunday, where he crashed the website on January 13th, because he had more than 30,000 viewers. The channel's subscriber demographics are estimated to be 88% female, ranging in age from fourteen to seventeen. When describing the twins' sudden notoriety, Jack stated, "It’s pretty terrifying. We’re not celebrities and we don’t expect people to come up to us. We’ve had to sign autographs and be in photographs – it can be a bit overwhelming." In September 2012, the Harries twins were reportedly finalizing plans for a new smart phone app and social network, both based on JacksGap.
