    Richard Harris was one of the finest actors and gorgeous man who ever graced the stage. I will never forget his unbelievable acting in This Sporting Life. I fell in love with him then and still get tearful watching him in anything. He died too young. What I would have given to see him in person. God rest your soul, Richard Harris! You were the best.

    I was lucky enough to meet William Smith at a film festival and mentioned it was too bad he was killed off so early in 'The Deadly Trackers'. He laughed and said the director kept him on location for 6 weeks in order to keep Rod Taylor and Richard Harris from killing each other.
