Harris was born in Worthington, Ohio. She graduated from Worthington High School in 1986. Her first award in the arts came during a first grade talent show, performing "Please Mr. Postman" by the Carpenters, winning the talent show with the performance due to her brother stuffing the ballot box.

While attending Otterbein College, Harris acted onstage in dramas such as 'night, Mother and The Cherry Orchard. A professor recommended Harris perform comedy instead of drama. Initially, she resisted; her intent was to be a stage actress. She graduated in 1989, earning a Bachelor of Fine Arts in theatre.

Harris' first acting job during college was in Cincinnati on the showboat Majestic, playing Maria from The Sound of Music.

After college, Harris moved to New York City and secured a commercial agent. She worked as a hostess at restaurants along Broadway and the Upper East Side. Meanwhile, she auditioned for theater roles, eventually landing a job performing children's theater.

Harris made her film debut in 1992 as the Treehouse Mom in Treehouse Trolls. She recalled the experience during the audition: "Treehouse Trolls, that just came out of an audition in this shitty theater. Like, it wasn't even a theater. It was a room. Near Times Square. And I was like, "I hope this is a legitimate audition. I could be going in for a porn. I don't know." She debuted on television on SeaQuest DSV in 1993.
