" Harris also was nominated for an Emmy for 1971's "The Snow Goose The standard of the movies was very low Rowling's books, which he said he did reluctantly "
In the 1980s, after a series of bombs â€â€? "Orca," "The Ravagers," "Game for Vultures," "Your Ticket is No Longer Valid" â€â€? Harris decided to quite films entirely "
A tall, sturdy figure with a reputation as a hellraiser and a lived-in face that he once described as looking like "five miles of bad country road," Harris was never cut out to join contemporaries as a smooth matinee idol
Possessed of a sharp temper, Harris was no stranger to arguments and was known to cancel interviews and miss appearances if he felt indisposed
That led to "This Sporting Life," which established him as a star Donleavy's "The Ginger Man," a study of the life of a drunken Dublin student Once I get there and start to work, I want to be doing nothing else
"He died peacefully at University College Hospital," where he was receiving treatment for Hodgkin's Disease after falling ill earlier this year " He returns in the role in "Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets," which opens Nov
"Richard was wonderful to work with â€â€? a slightly mad Irishman and a truly gifted performer," Clint Eastwood, director and star of "Unforgiven," said Friday
Harris was nominated twice for best-actor Academy Awards, for his role as a violent, inarticulate Yorkshire miner in Lindsay Anderson's 1963 "This Sporting Life," and as a thundering Irish peasant in director Jim Sheridan's little-seen 1990 film "The Field Don't call me, because I will never return your calls "
He toured in "Camelot" from 1986 to 1989, and said he was content to do nothing William Peper in the New York World-Telegram wrote that Harris "reminds one fleetingly of Marlon Brando
He also joined the Theatre Workshop, which helped lead the advance toward realism and experiment in British theater Other films over the years included "Major Dundee," "Hawaii," "The Molly Maguires" and "Cromwell "
Born Oct After decades of heavy boozing, he gave up drinking in 1982 â€â€? typically, after drinking two last bottles of expensive wine at one sitting It was a small part, but Lee Strasburg, director of the New York Actors Studio, said it had the "sharpest impact" of any performance he had seen by an actor in Britain His first professional appearance was as Mickser in the workshop's 1956 production of Brendan Behan's "The Quare Fellow" in Stratford )
"Look," Harris said last year, "when I commit to a movie, they drag me on to the plane screaming to location, and there I am thinking, `Why am I doing it? I don't need the money '"
Then, "I get on the set, and I want to be no place else He was 72 1, 1930, in Limerick, Ireland, Harris suffered a bout of tuberculosis in adolescence, which friends say fostered the brooding, introspective quality of his acting
"His presence on the set during the filming of 'Unforgiven' always gave all of us a much needed lift during the many hours of difficult work on that film "
One of Harris' biggest successes was "A Man Called Horse," in 1970 roaring boys, sometimes with highly colored private lives and lurid public images (His three sons are all in the business â€â€? Jared and Jamie as actors; Damian as a director His first lead role in London's West End came in 1959, as Sebastian Dangerfield in J "
He trilled semi-tunefully as King Arthur opposite Vanessa Redgrave in 1967's "Camelot I have to do it
The critic Clive Barnes called him one of a new breed of British actors, who are "rougher, tougher, fiercer, angrier and more passionately articulate than their well-groomed predecessors K
"I made a decision that half was made for me by the motion picture business," he recalled P I hate the idea that my life in any way is sort of restricted I was doing a series of movies that I wasn't happy doing "
The filmmakers asked Harris to sign on for adaptations of all seven of author J
Inspired by the writings of the Russian director Konstantin Stanislavsky, he initially set his heart on directing "
Within the last decade, he appeared in two winners of the best-picture Oscar â€â€? "Unforgiven" in 1992 and 2000's "Gladiator," in which he played the war-weary Emperor Marcus Aurelius "
Twice divorced, he added, "That's why my marriages broke up "Around 1980, I decided that was it, that my career was really finished To "finish my career on a high note," he embarked on Pirandello's difficult "Henry IV," winning plaudits He moved to London to study, but when he couldn't find a suitable directing course he joined an acting course at the London Academy of Music and Dramatic Art, in 1956
Harris lived in the Bahamas in recent years, and voiced ambivalence toward acting
15 He also has his own kind of raging power and startling sensitivity Because of what I was offered, I was unhappy
"I hate that kind of commitment Barnes said Harris' performance as the clerk, Aksenti Ivanovitch, "struck me as one of the greatest things I have ever seen in the theater " The next year, he had a hit record with the long, melodramatic song "MacArthur Park," part of a short-lived singing career that also included an appearance in the stage production of the rock opera "Tommy
"With great sadness, Damian, Jared and Jamie Harris announced the death of their beloved father, Richard Harris," his family said Actor Richard Harris Dies at 72
Oct 25, 6:58 PM EST
LONDON (AP) â€â€? Irish actor Richard Harris, who gained fame as the roistering star of such 1960s films as "This Sporting Life" and "Camelot" and reached a new generation of fans years later as the wise old wizard in two Harry Potter movies, died Friday night at a London hospital "
He caught the eye of critic Kenneth Tynan who once bracketed him with Albert Finney and Peter O'Toole as one of the three best young actors on the British stage
"She called me and said, `If you don't do it, papa, I'll never speak to you again,' and I thought, I can't afford that We've lost a wonderful actor and a man with a great deal of courage
In 1962, Harris played a mutinous sailor in the movie remake of "Mutiny on the Bounty," with Marlon Brando "
But when he's done with a film, he's done "
Harris turned next to a financially unrewarding but artistically acclaimed presentation of "The Diary of a Madman," which he and Lindsay Anderson adapted from Gogol's short story
A variety of roles followed, and to earn extra income, Harris turned to bit parts in television and film
In an interview last year, Harris told The Associated Press it was his young granddaughter, Ella, who persuaded him to play Professor Albus Dumbledore in last year's "Harry Potter and the Sorceror's Stone I hate commitment, and I'm totally unreliable anyway
"When we finish, I always say to the actors around me, `We had a wonderful time, we had great weekends and some great boozy nights (but) the movie's over '"
He is survived by his three sons from his first marriage, to Elizabeth Rees-Williams
