Richard Harris


Richard Harris starred in This Sporting Life in 1963.  He is somewhere in the above scrum in an oversized bathtub, but I don't know which one he was.  We see him with another actor below.

  1. The gentleman drinking the beer with Richard looks to be Colin Blakely

  2. It is one of his best films. This scene is usually cut or heavily blurred when shown on TV. Ridiculous!

  3. Harris was quite the rascal !
    Read where he was visited at his home in London by film recruiters. They were told to come on out to the cottage as Harris called it. To the casting crews surprise the cottage was a fine castle estate with a RR Phantom V limo out front ! When they knocked on the door Harris answered the door and told them to wait. Harris came out dressed in blue jeans and t-shirt and proceeded to the RR. They expected a chauffeur but Harris told them “I paid a pretty crown for this car and drive it myself !” Off they went as Harris drove and poured a drink from the bar that was built into the dashboard. He finally stopped to play darts at a pub, and look over the movie contract they presented to him….:)
