Richard Harris 1998 Part 1

[AcedMoney777]

hey do you have any richard harris clips from letterman? I realize you're a conan channel btw but itd be great seeing as hes so entertaining

[friendofsgran]

He looks like Richard Attenborough here

[FindTheHumorInIt]

GOOD GOD! HARRIS IS DRUNK! loool loved that

[lvlasterGK]

he even looks like dumbledore when he's not acting...

[mimzshenkdog]

Shit, I can't believe THAT GUY played dumbledore. I never saw him in his earlier movies, but this clip proves just how good of an actor he is, portraying characters that seem so unlike himself.

[jhibbitt1]

lol he's so full of character, he must have been completley manic when he was young lol

[waitingformypopcorn]

I SOOOOO want to drink/smoke with Dumbledore/Richard Harris!! Oh my god, if ever there was a reason for a time machine.

[nyanfication]

@waitingformypopcorn Richard Harris once said that he was afraid of his fame as being Dumbledore in Harry Potter eclipsing the rest of his career.

[waitingformypopcorn]

@nyanfication I don't think he's just Dumbledore. But he did make a kids film even more magical than it already was, and that's very special. In fact I'm more interested in his earlier career because I think he's a fantastic actor and a cool guy.

[lorrainewands]

Richard Harris' voice is beautiful. Is anyone else reminded of Heath Ledger when they see this video? His mannerisms and facial characteristics remind me so of Ledger (but then Charles Laughton reminds me of Tom Hardy, so what do I know!)

[europachef]

@lorrainewands that would be the other way around, for obvious reasons yes.

[lorrainewands]

The original King Arthur! I was in love with him and with Arthurian legend partly because of his beautiful portrayal of the fanciful king.

[vaahtobileet]

RIP Snape!

[smosher96]

Rip bull mcabe

[nihiraram20]

RIP The actual life Dumbledore!

[comets00]

what a man, a great story teller just like o'toole, there will never be another group of actors like them again, really sad

[mugglesandmadness]

lol that was a brilliant story

so much for even trying to stay in character

[Atripple]

"We dropped our drinks quickly down our throats" ROFL XDD

[dashadowdogg]

Wow he looks so different in real life to dumbledore

[IamthatIam11]

Richard Harris <3 THE BEST ACTOR EVER! The best Dumbledore!

[ThorFan4Life]

He is the real Dumbledore

[dadman1988]

R.I.P Richard Harris,you certainly lived a great life.

[luvtaylorlautnerluv]

haha tipsy. so cute.

[zeldafan1515]

why couldn't he have lived another 10 years, healthy at that

[555Kamikaze]

472, second place. Another year, second.

[APieceofBlarney]

great 

[christopherhoughton1]

I would have loved to have gone barhopping with him and Peter O'Toole and Oliver Reed...

[SusanBaudelaire]

That was funny when he was asking if he could tell a story on the show.

[paulandmo2007]

evidently the ONLY way I would settle in the middle of the night as a baby was when McArthur Park would come on the radio... still 43 years later. Love him, RIP Richard.

[NoGoodBoyo1000]

How could anyone dislike Harris?

[nath909]

I'd have gone on a biblical drinking session with Harris, even more epic than the parting of the red sea. Now that's epic.

[ilerad]

Rip to the big faggot

[whenmonkeysattack16]

@ilerad Dude...really? Really? The dude is dead, and you call him a faggot. Wow...it's times like this that make weep for society

[ummmeow]

@whenmonkeysattack16

i get what you mean but his being dead should be the least of what upsets you about this comment. would you protest to hitler being called a psychotic masochist faggot just because he's dead. ha!

[whenmonkeysattack16]

@ummmeow I have formulated a very educated, well-thought out retort to you're response. Here goes...*clears throat*...SHUT UP!

JK JK JK! I wouldn't say that about Hitler because Hitler was an evil entity, while Harris (Mind you I didn't know him personaly), seems like a good guy. I would just to have listened to his stories for hours.

[ummmeow]

@whenmonkeysattack16

me too XD i wish there were more, stories i mean!

[ThaTchubi]

He's SO MUCH MORE Dumbledoreish than Gambon....

I <3 Harris

[QtommyQ]

I remember Peter O'Toole telling this very same story. Absolute legends.

[darkcowboyhero]

This man is an Irish legend. Limerick man through and through, hellraising genius madman lunatic. Met the man once, most down to earth person in the world.

[Gandalfgrey93]

He is Albus Dumbledore

[chucklevisionman]

they should have called off harry potter after he died or otherwise find another actor who looked just like him not an older gloomier version

[nakedstud]

BAHAHAA if you guys want to read about haris, o'toole, burton, and reed's drunken escapades i highly suggest you pick up a copy of the book hellraisers

[smcqueen123]

@nakedstud Your so right that book is my personal guide to life.

[Randomness7171]

HE WAS DUMBLEDORE!!!!!!! AND HE WILL ALWAYS BE DUMBLEDORE IN MY HEART!!!! RIP RICHARD HARRIS

[gjuliome]

this guy should have never died

[vnavarro14]

awww i miss this dumbledore :(

[monty3780]

thanks to the person who listed this, cos gems are sparse an guys like this just dont exist anymore cos lifes become to square or political, great to see when people didnt take life always so seriously an harris, o toole, burton, reed, howard, newton, flynn etc new how to enjoy life, an boy did they!!!!

[goldkirby]

Harris was a much better Dumbledore than the one we have now... :(

[binxiboy111]

he was a great actor, im just lucky i was related to him, its a shame i never met him,, rip cousin. phil from portsmouth uk.

[BattyKellen]

I could listen to him tell stories all day long. Too bad there aren't many interviews with him on Youtube.

[Revolutionary1989]

@BattyKellen THere's a great interview with his son, Jared Harris, on Jimmy Kimmel here on Youtube! Jared tells a story about his father that's hilarious! And of course Jared seems to be a lot like him. :)

[BattyKellen]

@Revolutionary1989 Thank you. That was hilarious!

[Revolutionary1989]

@BattyKellen You're welcome! Glad you enjoyed it. I'm a huge fan of Richard and Jared Harris so if I find any other good interviews of either of them, I'll try to remember to send them to you.

[HitchHikersBlues]

Alot of the Irish don't like playin the fame game all that much.

[shumworld]

I remember this interview. First time I was ever aware of Richard Harris. He had me in "We dropped our drinks quickly down our throats."

[charlieiscool1000]

LOL 1:05 seems like somthing dumberdore would so

[spaceoreo]

@2112murphy Sure aren't you my cousin 2112murphy from Baltinglass?

[tyruk]

George Carlin could do a great Irish accent.

[cactuskid007]

he hated brando

[charliebubblesoar]

Yaaay, I love Richard Harris! So cool

[angelabinu]

This is absolutely divine!!!!! OmG!

[Eatmybologna]

I love this man.

[TheThing88]

I love Harris at the start with the chair, it's like he stopped maturing past the age of sixteen!

[captainroger]

He never mentions Oliver Reed, those two were outrageous drinkers!

[JuanMacready]

They didn't like each other.

[JuanMacready]

They didn't like each other.

[BlackenedForLife]

Ah, what a man, chums.
