He spent his last months, living in a posh London hotel. The day he was taken from there by ambulance to hospital, he shouted from his stretcher to people watching, 'IT WAS THE FOOD THAT DID IT''---Irish humour to the end.
Irish humor has been known to get people through some hard times, perhaps it can even be an antidote to death. In Harris's case, I think even God would acknowledge and welcome this man's soul into eternal life.
he was an absolutely talented actor. he may be drinking, alchohol and drugs abusing but he had the guts to admit it! rise your wands for him. farewell dead dumbldore! greece salutes you!
Why don't those who are being negitive just admire this man for a great career that went on for decades all the while he really enjoyed all that life had to offer him and us all if we chase it
It's amazing when you see this and look at his performances: the work he does with his voice, especially the last few films of his career is brilliant.
Apparently he was afraid he'd only be remembered as Dumbledore. My memory will always be "Macarthur Park". I was stunned the first time I heard it but thought it too long to be a hit.... little did I know it would give radio DJ's a chance to go to the toilet! The melodramatic and poetic nature of this song are completely in keeping with Harris.
He’ll always be Dumbledore to me but I’m a big Harry Potter geek 😂 the first of his films I watched was the field and is still one of my favourite films
Richard Harris also Oliver Reed legends there are not many guys around like them any more.Also Richard Harris had a great singing voice thanks for posting you can't help just watch and listen to people like him...
@connaught2008 Agreed. Theres no reason why the younger generations cant see his other films. Its easier than ever to watch classic films today. When I was a teen I watched everything from 60 years previous to current films. Todays teens seem only interested in films 10 years old or newer or their cell phones. Harris was worried about being only remembered for Dumbledore. Sadly he was correct.
@TroyDouglas917 And sadly, as a child, that was my intro to the man....and I still LOVED him! I got to go see him live in a stage production (touring) of Camelot. He was hilarious, too, he broke character to explain that he had the flu at one point! And my mother worried about my taste in men forever more....
@lilze96 I understand completely what you're saying: Richard Harris was a legendary actor who should be remembered for all the work he did in prior films. But, of course he will be remembered as Dumbledore because this generation is too young to have seen his other films!
There are many true cinema fans that consider not making it in Hollywood a good thing, and besides, he lived a far more interesting and significant life than you'll ever lead.
People like Harris and Oliver Reed were acting power houses and were rock & roll when actors weren't rock & roll ... they don't make men like this anymore .... sadly.
Gladiator was one of his final films and one of his finest. He was immortalized in that film. It's as if his whole life was building up to that role. He must of been so proud.
@@MetroVerse No he wasn’t There’s literally no evidence to support that If you’re talking about the Ian McKellen thing that had nothing to do with him being gay Harris got on great with Lindsay Anderson ( a homosexual film director) so he’s obviously not homophobic
@@ruly8153 These people are relentless, aren't they? The man is dead, what, how long? 21 years? Yet these idiots with an agenda give no f*cks whatsoever and will even try to sully the names of those long since passed. What a sad bunch they are. Morons.
im here today because harris died 10 years ago on this day, and i see this bullshit comment, what have you got? what have you done thats on his level? nothing thats what, this guy is a legend and i already know he was more of a man then you are.
@RichardElden he was a movie star, easy to get a girl if you're famous and i dont think he was ugly and hes most likely had a better and much more exciting life than any of us will have thats for sure
As Harris was born in the Irish Free State he would have been allowed to be knighted as Sir Richard Harris. Why do you think Sir Terry Wogan was knighted?
The Brat were:- Frank Sinatra, Sammy Davis Jnr, Dean Martin Etc Just imagine these in a film:- Richard Harris, Richard Burton, Anthony Hopkins, Steve Mc Queen and Jimmy Dean. One Word - PHENOMENAL Pity really that the latter were not all of the same era. Pity the younger generation of today do not understand the words "Class Actors"
yeh he did well no matter where he went, because he loved good company. People bask in his spontaneity and vibrant energy that Richard projected on to others. Like all irish we love women and by traveling or moving abroad all women love us. It must be the accent and a good sense of humor i suppose. Learn from it all you's jealous bland twits out there. Whom ever say bad things about this man your insecurity will get the better of you..
i agree, ever since watching him first in the count of monte cristo, well when i watched it, i was sad to hear he had recently died but ever since then ive been a fan, not in anyway for harry potter, only reason i like them is because RH is in them, well the first two. Ive watched sporting life, field and others, whenever there's a RH film on im watching it. He's a legend, a great role model. Makes me proud to have Irish blood in me.
Richard Harris was nominated for an Oscar for This Sporting Life, so clearly the Academy of Motion Picture Arts And Sciences thought he was good enough. Every actor around that time was influenced by Marlon Brando, you're being a bit hard on Richard Harris.
He makes a lot of sense - but there must have been pain and demons along the way as a result which he conveniently skips over, but all in all, most people do sleep through life in fear looking for some sort of safe comfort zone. I try not to, I dont want any regrets when Im 80.
I will never be able to understand why so many people, guys mostly, listen to these guys breaking up their marriages, go on drug benders and be so deeply alcoholic that they have to go to the hospital for it several times a year and have their own families push them away and think they're godlier than Jesus Christ and Buddha combined. Harris was lucky, that's it. His drugs and fights could've ended his awesome life a hell of a lot earlier than it did and his life of riches and celebrity could've easily turned into him living under a bridge as a homeless bum. It's one thing to see this stuff and see the old celebrities who survived them as a thing of glory and adventure, but go try this stuff in real life and you'll quickly learn how terrifying and idiotic it really is. Go have a heart attack and failing organs when you're not a rich celebrity and see how glorious and adventurous it really is...
totally agree, I think the glamorization of self destruction is a dangerous tendancy of the human being, and the confirmation bias that make theses talented people stand out is the cause of it all. How many alcoholic nobodies ruined their lives for one Richard Harris or Richard Burton?
it's annoying the way harris is remembered by many solely for his harry potter performance,...he was amazin, wish more people would watch his greatest work in classics like This Sporting Life, The Wild Geese, The Field and Unforgiven....Its the same like Alec Guinness being remembered mostly as Obi- Wan Kanobi
@PhillyDippy5 He didn't write the script but he did read it and agree to appear in it, so he has to take some responsibility for doing it. It's one of those "so bad, it's good" movies. Easily his worst film.

A Legend .... a true Irish Legend. God bless you Richard :) Miss you x

Most gorgeous Irish accent I've ever heard. To die for.
@Book Worm And miine,,,, Richard is from.
Limerick accent
An incredible actor! Watching him it was just impossible to take your eyes off him. Missed very much!
It's amazing when you see this and look at his performances: the work he does with his voice, especially the last few films of his career is brilliant.
I happy i met Richard Harris in the 1990's . Great man.
I was blessed to have seen him onstage twice in 'Camelot'. Never got to meet him though, hope I will in Heaven.
I Loved his work in The Count of Monte Cristo.. R.I.P. Priest
Your a legend Harris you will never be forgotten.... You have my praise and admiration for leading an amazing life and envied life...
Just wonderful seeing somebody that is so brutally honest to himself and others
what a honest funny and good actor he was
Fantastic Man with his friend Peter O'Toole who was another great Character they didn't care what people thought which was the best part of the lads

He was really hilarious. Michael Gambon is funnier. Him and Alan Rickman (Professor Snape) pranked Daniel Radcliffe (Harry Potter) with a fart machine
+HerobrineDoesMinecraft 123 Perhaps, but Gambon played the role too overacted. Like a weird angry dumbledore.

one of the hellraising legends that lived on this earth along with oliver reed,richard burton.
Peter O Toole
This is why he was the true Dumbledore. He actually had that long, weird, adventurous life that Dumbledore would've. He's seen and done it all.
What a bloke he was RIP legend
I've never heard of this fella... He's my hero!
I remember watching this programme when it came on TV. I watched anything with Harris in it he was a legend.
I love this man...a very unique bastard ! and a great actor !I never get enough of his shenanigans ..
Richard Harris also Oliver Reed legends there are not many guys around like them any more.Also Richard Harris had a great singing voice thanks for posting you can't help just watch and listen to people like him...
a great man and well missed, rest in peace.

My dad came to England from Cork in 1954 aged 19 , he experienced the same "no Irish, black, dogs or actors " .

God Bless.

Thats the best story ever - the womans house in Leeds lol
If it said that he was turning 70, then this was filmed in 2000
Legendary Irishman is Legendary.
I read somewhere that he always used to answer the phone with 'comeupandtakeyourknickersoff' very fast. Never be another like him.

Loved him in Camelot and A Man called Horse. Brilliant actor and mesmerizing voice.

Great actor
A man’s man that seems to be gone now unfortunately in this day and age. We will be back.

This man is my personal hero! He could play the upper class English man yet also be the rough rascal.
I know im late but rip legend
@RichardElden
woah woah woah, he was a good looking guy in his youth.
Gladiator was one of his final films and one of his finest. He was immortalized in that film. It's as if his whole life was building up to that role. He must of been so proud.
His final role was Dumbledore in Harry Potter.

@lilze96 On the other hand, if his performance as Dumbledore encourages people to watch those fantastic movies, that can only be seen as a good thing.
hey mate where can i get the full Documentary please i would really love it
Here's a brilliant man! Check out "A Man Called Horse" & anything else with Harris in it.

when i see the image of richard harris in this video, at 1:30, i think he reminds of harrison ford, a cool dude Richard was
A man till the end.
And at one point drunk 2 bottles of vodka a day (i.e 1.5 litres). Surprised the old guy held out so long!
As Harris was born in the Irish Free State he would have been allowed to be knighted as Sir Richard Harris.
Why do you think Sir Terry Wogan was knighted?
The Brat were:- Frank Sinatra, Sammy Davis Jnr, Dean Martin Etc
Just imagine these in a film:- Richard Harris, Richard Burton, Anthony Hopkins, Steve Mc Queen and Jimmy Dean.

hey this guy named R Harris looks like Dumbledore from Harry Potter

In my mind this video explains his choice to do the song MacArthur Park.
He makes a lot of sense - but there must have been pain and demons along the way as a result which he conveniently skips over, but all in all, most people do sleep through life in fear looking for some sort of safe comfort zone. I try not to, I dont want any regrets when Im 80.
