He debuted on screen in Shake Hands with the Devil and quickly scored regular work in films, including The Wreck of the Mary Deare , The Night Fighters and a good role as a frustrated Australian bomber pilot in The Guns of Navarone However, his breakthrough performance was as the quintessential "angry young man" in the sensational drama This Sporting Life , which scored him an Oscar nomination.
He next showed up in Hawaii and played King Arthur in Camelot , a lackluster adaptation of the famous Broadway play. Better performances followed, among them a role as a reluctant police informer in The Molly Maguires alongside Sir Sean Connery.

His room was located in the "Courtside" section of the hotel. It did have a view of the river, but not as fine a view as the "Hotel" section riverside rooms.
He only had his room cleaned once a week and very rarely notified the hotel that he was out of his room, so they had to check his door ten times a day to see if his "Do Not Disturb" sign flipped around to say "Make Up My Room".
After giving up drinking alcohol for a time in the s, Harris put a bottle of vodka in every room in his house in London. The temptation was huge but he didn't touch a drop.
Producers were initially reluctant to cast him as King Arthur in Camelot due to his limited singing ability. Harris was cast after Richard Burton , who had played the part on Broadway in , demanded too much money.

I don't want immortality. I've lived it all. I've done it all. No one trusts me any more. I spent half the movie [ Maigret ] arguing with people and I was accused of causing big on-set rows.
But what they won't tell you is I fought for [author Georges Simenon ]. I fought for the maintenance of quality. I don't believe in lying down on the job.
I've seen these so-called "nice" actors. But they're like bank managers. So sweet and careful. Who needs them? We are suffering a plague of good taste.
Give me Sean Penn and Mickey Rourke any day. They project danger. That's what makes acting--and life--interesting. I would give up all the accolades--people have occasionally written and said nice things--of my showbiz career to play just once for the senior Munster team.
I will never win an Oscar now, but even if I did I would swap it instantly for one sip of champagne from the Heineken Cup. Someone asked me once "What is the difference between Tom Cruise now and you when you were a major star?
Look at a photograph of me from the old days and I'm going to one of my film premieres with a bottle of vodka in my hand. Tom Cruise has a bottle of Evian water.
That's the difference--a bottle of Evian water. What I hate about our business today is the elitism. So-called stars ride in private jets and have bodyguards and dietitians and beauticians.
Tom Cruise is a midget and he has eight bodyguards all 6'10", which makes him even more diminutive. It's an absolute joke. I can see the difficulties of making a movie.
Directors and producers have to put up with a lot of rubbish from temperamental actors. The trouble with him is he doesn't think he's a hired actor, like the rest of us.
He thinks he's the entire production. He used to sit there in the mornings and clock us with a stopwatch. I was a sinner.
I slugged some people. I hurt many people. And it's true, I never looked back to see the casualties. But the chances of all three of those factors remaining constant are pretty slim.
I hate movies. They're a waste of time. I could be in a pub having more fun talking to idiots rather than sitting down and watching idiots perform.
I consider a great part of my career a total failure. I went after the wrong things--got caught in the '60s. I picked pictures that were way below my talent.
Just to have fun. I was numb, and it didn't seem to matter. Actors take themselves so seriously. Samuel Beckett is important, James Joyce is--they left something behind them.
But even Laurence Olivier is totally unimportant. Acting is actually very simple, but actors try to elevate it to an art. If ever I was miscast in my life, it was in the role of husband.
I was the worst husband in the world. When I'm in trouble, I'm an Irishman. When I turn in a good performance, I'm an Englishman.
I have no friends in this business. I don't go to their clubs, don't go to their hangouts and don't mix at all. I am part of the business but I am apart from it.
If anyone ever asks my advice, I tell them, "Don't take yourself too seriously". I came to England first in looking for a bedsit, a room to sleep in while going to my academy.
And outside the Earl's Court tube station there was a little tobacco-list and paper shop and they had a board. A glass-filled in board with rooms for rent.
And I saw one for 13 shillings a week and it said, "No Irishmen or black need apply" and I took my jersey and I put it down over my hand and I put my hand right through the glass and I took it out and I kept it for the rest of my life.
That's how we were treated here in That would cause me grievance. That would cause me anger. But I laugh at that, and say to anyone with that view that I didn't fulfil their idea of my talent.
I didn't fulfil the dreams that they had for me. Not because they're not grand, I know they're great. I love the script, but I don't read fiction, it's as simple as that.
There's more fiction in my life than in books, so I don't bother with them. Do I care? Not in the slightest. I hope he does us all a favor and wears the bloody thing in front of his face wherever he goes.
I don't care what he says. But don't characterize Richard Burton , Peter O'Toole and me as drunks as if that's all we achieved in our life, because he could live 20 fucking lives and he couldn't achieve as much as we three have achieved.
On Charlton Heston He'd played in Shakespeare and to listen to him, you'd think he helped the Bard with the rewrites. He was a prick, really, and I liked tackling pricks.
I never got to know my parents and they never got to know me. Winning the Pulitzer is not that big a deal. From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.

His first film part was a cameo in a comedy called "Alive and Kicking," about three elderly women who escape from a home for seniors.
Harris's next commitment took him back to Ireland to shoot "Shake Hands With the Devil," an ambitious production about the Irish Rebellion, in which he played the gun-happy rebel Terence O'Brien.
In , the actor returned to Ireland to make "A Terrible Beauty" about sectarian strife in Northern Ireland, in which he played the roistering bosom-buddy of a disenchanted Irish Republican Army member, played by Robert Mitchum.
His role as violent, inarticulate Yorkshire miner Frank Machin in Lindsay Anderson's "This Sporting Life" - his first film lead - took London and New York by storm and established him as an actor of the first rank.
He also has his own kind of raging power and startling sensitivity. Typically, Harris turned his back on the plaudits to produce a financially unrewarding but artistically acclaimed presentation of "The Diary of a Madman," which he and Lindsay Anderson adapted from Gogol's short story about a Russian clerk's decline into insanity.
Barnes, the critic, described Harris' performance as the clerk, Aksenti Ivanovitch, as a "tour de force" that "struck me as one of the greatest things I have ever seen in the theater.
I was doing a series of movies that I wasn't happy doing.
He once went out to the football on a Saturday, announcing that he'd be back on Tuesday, possibly in a police van, and another time threw a wardrobe at his wife. As he was born in the Irish Free State he was entitled to a full knighthood. I don't care what he says.
