Biography: Richard Harris [Top] Richard Harris was an Irish actor. Some of his most notable movie appearances were in Camelot, A Man Called Horse and, at the end of his career, the first two Harry Potter movies. He was a notorious playboy & drinker, part of a rowdy generation of talented British & Irish actors that included Albert Finney, Richard Burton & Peter OToole. He was born in Limerick, Ireland & was schooled by the Jesuits at Crescent College. As a teenager he was a rugby player for Munster, but he had to give up his involvement in sports when he contracted tuberculosis. After recovering from the disease he moved to London, wanting to become a director. He could not find any suitable courses & enrolled in the London Academy of Music & Dramatic Art to learn acting. In the 1950s he had a number of stage roles. He made his film debut in 1958 in the film Alive & Kicking. For his role in Mutiny on the Bounty, despite being virtually unknown, he insisted on third billing, behind Trevor Howard & Marlon Brando.
