	Actor Richard Harris: a great talent only occasionally fulfilled
		The actor Richard Harris, who died October 25 aged 72, was one of a number of his contemporaries who more often than was seemly traded their talent for a dubious celebrity.
		Harris was continually in work, was more often than not turning in good performances, but was not in any way judging the material in which he was performing.
		Harris may have played the part of the devil-may-care hard man, but there was a keen student of acting lurking not too far beneath the surface.

		Harris told how he was with Frank and Malachy McCourt and discussing Limerick in the pub, and claimed that Frank McCourt had been derogatory and derisive in his attitude and remarks about Limerick.
		Harris claimed also that the brothers had refused to pay the extra coffin charge when bringing their mother back to Limerick, alleging that the McCourts "decided to cremate their mother and bring her ashes back in their overnight bags".
		The actor, notorious for his hellraising days, was wearing a long, fl overcoat, a pair of dirty runners and ill-fitting baggy trousers, his wild, white mane blowing in the breeze.

		There was a time when writers could hardly mention the name of the actor Richard Harris, who has died aged 72, without using the dread epithet "hellraiser".
		Harris, whose ambition to become a rugby league professional had been ended by a bout of tuberculosis, was given free rein to display his animalism as Frank Machin, an aggressive and inarticulate rugby player who develops an amour fou for his dowdy and bitter landlady - a relationship as violent as the game he plays.
		But, in the same year, Harris took one of the most significant roles in his career, which was eventually to make him a multi-millionaire.

		Harris himself knew his career was bottoming out as he hammed his way through such bombs as the Canadian-made "Highpoint" (1980) and the flat Bo Derek starrer, "Tarzan the Ape Man" (1981).
		And the actor was discovered by an entirely new generation of fans when he assumed the key role of the wise and kindly Professor Albus Dumbledore in the film adaptation of author J.K. Rowling's smash children's book "Harry Potter and the Sorceror's Stone" (2001).

		This is the best and most thoughtful piece I have read in a long time regarding Richard Harris, his career as an actor and his unfortunate choice of roles.
		Harris rushed himself into stardom, forgoing the years of training on the stage which would have given him a greater legacy to be remembered for once film stardom came his way, but I think that he was in a rush to prove to his father that he could be a success.
		Further, Richard suffered in the knowledge that he was the only child in the family whose name his father forgot constantly.
