Note: The user specifically asks for a career overview of "Nigel Harrison (Acting)". Source [1] is primarily about his music career but lists "Acting" under "Known For". Source [2] is specifically about his acting/educator career. I must combine these or focus on the acting aspect as requested, while adhering to the "Acting" focus.

Actually, the prompt asks for a career overview of "Nigel Harrison (Acting)". Source [1] mentions he is an English musician and bassist for Blondie, but Source [2] is the one detailing the acting career. I will integrate the musical background as part of his overall profile if it fits the "career overview" context, but I must be careful not to let it overshadow the "Acting" instruction. However, Source [1] says "Known For: Acting".
