Performing Experience
In October 1930, Richard Harris was born in a farm family in Limerick, Ireland . He was a rugby player in middle school. It is said that he was extremely talented, but his career was ruined by a tuberculosis. After recovering from his illness, Devin Harris went to London to study drama performance. When he was still in school, he used all his savings to invest in making a drama, but he lost everything, and finally slept in the coal cell for a month and a half.
In 1957, Devin Harris, who had not been very famous in the theater industry, had good luck and married the Welsh socialite Elizabeth Rees. The bride's father was the powerful Baron Ogmore in politics. Devin Harris said that the most failed role in this life is the husband. He is the worst husband in the world. Of course, Reese is not a leisurely person. Among the three husbands after her, there are Oscar actor Rex Harrison (Rex Harrison) and former British cabinet member Jonathan Aitken (Jonathan Aitken), and one of them is also named Aitken. Jonathan's cousin.
In 1962, Devin Harris retired the Movie " This Sporting Life " (This Sporting Life), this is the first time he played the male lead, the results took a Cannes best actor Oscar nomination and a. The director of the movie, Lindsay Anderson (Lindsay Anderson), is actually a suppressive homosexual. During the filming, he wrote in his diary, "I must calm down and stay away from Richard. Even though I am so Impulsive, affectionate." After Anderson's death, Malcolm McDowell (Malcolm McDowell) who worked with him in "If..." and " Britannia Hospital " (Britannia Hospital) publicly stated that Anderson has not only fallen in love with Devin Harris, but He and Albert Finney (Albert Finney) have been emotional, "he always fell in love with his leading male actors, and specializes in those hopeless heterosexuals."
Devin Harris, who is well-known and established, is regarded as an official fan, and has become the darling of big directors. His bad temper is also increasing day by day. As early as the beginning of his career, Devin Harris had a chance to appear in the stage play "Macbeth". The male number one always runs against Irish people during rehearsals, and he annoys him. On the night of the premiere, at the climax of the final scene, the actor Macbeth asked "What is the reason for the cry?", and Seiden, played by Devin Harris, should have answered "Your Majesty, the Queen is dead." As a result, he changed the scene to: "Oh, don't worry, she's okay. I'll get up in about 10 minutes." In the end, the whole performance was completely destroyed, and Devin Harris was naturally expelled immediately.
Devin Harris is particularly fond of speaking ill of collaborators. When he was young, he used to be a fan of Marlon Brando (Marlon Brando) and was able to imitate " On The Waterfront " (On the Waterfront) throughout . However, their collaboration in " Mutiny on the Bounty " (Mutiny on the Bounty) is not very pleasant. Devin Harris believes that Brando's superstar piety is an important reason for the overrun of this blockbuster. Later, he also ridiculed Brando's weird taste in film selection in interviews many times. In 1966, the Hollywood blockbuster "Hawaii" won the annual box office championship. However, Devin Harris recalled that shooting like this, " Working with Julie Andrews Edwards (Julie Andrews) made me fortunate to experience the most complete disgust for a human being".
In 1963, Movie master Antonioni photographed Richard Harris and invited him to play the leading role in "Red Desert". Antonioni made a color movie for the first time, and required perfection in all details. The garbage that appeared in front of the camera had to be colored again, and the shooting progress was quite slow. In Ravenna, a small seaport in Italy, Devin Harris has spent a long and cold winter. He can't wait to go to the United States to take over the new film Major Dundee (Major Dundee) by hardcore director Sam Peckinpah (Sam Peckinpah ). One day when shooting, Antonioni let Devin Harris cross a courtyard diagonally. Devin Harris asked why. Antonioni said, "Don't ask me why, you are an actor, just do what I say." Later, "Zoom" male lead actor David Hemmings described in his autobiography that Devin Harris punched Antonioni on the spot, then left the crew and went to the United States to film a new show. Antonioni had to find a stand-in actor to take more long shots of the back and the long shots. Of course, Devin Harris was not very happy in the United States, he can not stand the male number one in "Major Dundee"-Charlton Heston (Charlton Heston).
However, Devin Harris's popularity in the entertainment industry is really not bad. He and Peter O'Toole (Peter O'Toole) and Richard Burton (Richard Burton) have been best friends for many years. The most frequent meeting of the three of them is drinking, and occasionally going to watch football. Otto is also from Ireland . Devin Harris knew him when he first came to London to learn acting.
In the 1990s, the light of luck was once again ignited on Devin Harris’s acting career. While "The Field" was well received, it also earned him another Oscar nomination; a tough performance in " Gladiator " (Gladiator) It made him shine and became familiar to a new generation of fans. The last role he portrayed was Sura in the Movie " Gaius Julius Caesar " (Julius Caesar).
Devin Harris is very addicted to alcohol. In 1994, he appeared on David Michael Letterman 's "Late Night Show" and admitted that he had drunk and crashed into a double-decker bus in Dublin, and his driving license was revoked for life. Another time, when he was drunk on the streets of London alone, a police officer came over and asked him what was going on. He said, "The world is spinning. However, I am waiting for the house to come and take me home." Devin Harris has quit drinking many times. For a while, he put a bottle of vodka in every room in the house, but he just didn't drink it and challenged his limits. Of course, this didn't last long. In 1981, Devin Harris formally gave up drinking. After that, he basically did not drink strong alcohol. It was not until ten years later that he resumed drinking Guinness Stout.
Like many Hollywood stars of his time, Devin Harris also has a drug problem. During the filming of "Red Desert" in Italy, he took LSD for the first time in Rome. He went to climb the wishing pool to be stopped and was locked in the bathroom of the hotel. As a result, he smashed the glass with his fist. In 1978, an overdose of cocaine almost killed him, and he has never dared to touch it again.
Devin Harris has stayed at the famous Savoy Hotel in London for the last 12 years, a room that has a view of the Thames and is not that expensive. He asks to clean the room once a week, but he almost never informs the hotel when he will leave. Therefore, the waiter has to check ten times a day, and only when he sees that the "do not disturb" sign on his door is missing, he can go in and clean up.
On October 25, 2002, Devin Harris died of Hodgkin's lymphoma at the age of 72. The medical staff sent him to the hospital for emergency treatment. He lay on a stretcher and walked through the lobby of the hotel. He shouted to the people watching, "It's all the food here!" He didn't forget to make trouble when he died.
Two weeks after Devin Harris's death, "Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets" premiered in the United States, and his family recommended his best friend Peter Otto to the film studio to play Albus Percival Wulfric Brian Dumbledore . At the time Otto was 70 years old, and Warner was afraid that he would not be able to finish the next five films, so he gave up this idea and chose another younger Ireland actor Michael Gambon (Michael Gambon).
Judging from today’s results, Devin Harris’ worries may become a reality. People mention him as “the first grandfather Albus Percival Wulfric Brian Dumbledore”. But some people don’t think so. In 2009, the scarred "wrestler" Mickey Rourke (Mickey Rourke) went to lead the British Oscar actor. On stage, he dedicated the award to Richard Harris, who had passed away nearly seven years ago. "He is a good friend. A great actor". Maybe this is the sympathy between the bastards.
He is the son of a mill owner. After he grew up, he received training in music and drama at Imperial College London . He debuted on stage in 1956 and entered the British Movie industry two years later. In 1963, he played a rough rugby player in "Super Man" and won the Best Actor Award at the Cannes Movie Festival , and has since gained international popularity. In 1967, he starred in his most famous song and dance Movie "The Beautiful Record of the Phoenix Palace", and he played the role of King Arthur and sang again. No one in the film industry can match him. Later, he made a multi-line development in the entertainment industry. He not only performed commercial violent westerns such as " A Man Called Horse ", but also sang high-profile popular songs such as "MacArthur Park", published solo album records, and even wrote poems. And writing novels.

It is also the swan song of Devin Harris .
