Ian Harding

Ian Harding portrays Ezra Fitz, the young English teacher who has more than a scholarly interest in Aria Montgomery, one of his students. They met at a bar, then were in for quite a surprise when he sees Aria sitting in the desks of his new job as the honors English teacher at Rosewood high.

Harding was born in Heidelberg, Germany, the youngest child of a military family. The family moved back to northern Virginia a few years later, where he excelled in soccer and basketball. In high school, he joined the drama club (because it was the only co-ed activity at his all-male preparatory school) and discovered a new passion, something he continued to pursue at Carnegie Mellon University.

Harding’s feature credits include Greg Mottola’s Adventureland and the upcoming Ed Zwick film Love and Other Drugs. He also recently appeared in an episode of NCIS: Los Angeles.
