Unforgiven is not only the greatest western ever made, it's one of the greatest movies of all time. What a collection of extraordinary gentlemen and superb talent. Love Richard Harris.....
This is great .. just came off a Saul Rubinek interview about "Unforgiven" and he relates the same story as Harris. Harris had a way he wanted to play English Bob and Clint would never try to stop him. Same with Rubinek. Clint would never change a word in David Peoples' screenplay yet he let the actors handle their parts as they saw fit. He told Rubinek that his character was his department, and how he wanted to deliver those lines was up to him .. not the director. And the result is one of the greatest films of all time.
I drew him secretly in the Cole hole pub and he walked past(not planned) me so I showed him and he is such a lovely man and even signed my drawing still one of my most treasured items
Crazy that Richard Harris was younger than both Eastwood and Hackman. Harris died in 2002 while the other guys make 90 this year. RIP Richard, thanks for your son Jared.
In an old interview on Carson or Letterman, it was noted that Harris was an infamous hard drinker, but had quit. His answer was, "It's nice to wake up instead of come to."
Unforgiven was great. I put The Searchers and the Outlaw Josey Wales above but I could be moved to say Unforgiven should be nominated. Clint Eastwood needs no praise from me or anyone else for his career. I love his characters and I wish I actually had ever even met him. Anybody that can be so convincing and sympathetic as a marginal good guy is amazing.
Great actor. Watched unforgiven a few weeks ago. I don't have the right words to describe it but the speech English Bob gives about people not being able to kill a King and that they would just stand in awe and how William Munny kills everyone at the end and the writer stands in awe looking at him. The realisation that yes Munny is a monster but also a 'King' in the old West. Just incredible storytelling.
what an incredible man Richard was. of course he was known as a hard drinking hellraiser like oliver, burton and o,toole but away from the drink he is such a humble down to earth man, RIP richard Harris. one of the best.
This was a great interview. The interviewer was respectful and well-informed, and Harris was effusive and candid. Would have been great to see more of their off-camera discussion.

Back when actors had presence, character and charisma 👌

I can never get enough of Mr.Harris or Mr. OToole interviews! So so good

This man has been a giant among actors for years. We, as children of the 60's & 70's, were exposed to his talent and we just respected him so much.

wow. an interviewer who actually asks interesting questions. i didn't think they existed

Richard Harris was absolutely amazing along with so many others in this film.
A glorious eccentric! A great Irish soul. Magical man.
Unforgiven is one of the best westerns of all time and Harris plays a great character in it.

High praise for Clint.... from one of the great actors of our time.. totally justified🙂

Always liked Richard Harris as an actor. He really knows how to play a role very well.
