Jared Harris

Because it's high time DL had a Jared Harris thread. Let's discuss this fine actor.

Haven't seen him in much. He was suitably creepy on Fringe, and is very good on The Expanse. Based on those two roles I can't tell if he has much range, but he's good at what he does.

I love, love, love him! The Terror made me his fan for life. His performance was shattering.

He seems like a down to earth, good humored gent in real life.

Him and Stellan Skasgaard are masterful in Chernobyl.

He was super in Mad Men and did my favorite depiction of Andy Warhol (and certainly looked more like him than any other actor who’s played Warhol).

‘Fuck the cunt of Russia.’ He was hilarious in Happiness.

one of the worse characters on mad men.

very mis cast

And I how could I forget the strong impression he made in season 1 of The Crown. I kept wishing they could go back and remake The King's Speech with Jared instead of Colin Firth.

He was excellent in the miniseries The Terror

Little known fact: Jared Harris played Henry VIII in the first screen adaptation of 'The Other Boleyn Girl' on BBC. The production was awful, but I felt that he made one of the more convincing (and attractive) Henrys I've seen (and I've seen a LOT.)

He's an excellent actor. So good, that it's hard to evaluate his work as sometimes you don't even notice that he's the actor you are watching. He just disappears into a character.

That stated, these days I just can't cozy up to anyone named "Jared."

Excellent in The Terror. He made Crozier drying out so absolutely touching. Like R2 said, it made me a fan for life.

I love Dummy, but I actually thought he gave the worst performance in the film. He's very mannered. Very stagey. And very unattractive. Maybe he'd be good as The Elephant Man in a very large theatre. His dad was a good actor.

Well, if he doesn't want to be simply known as his father's son, I have granted his wish.

Loved him on Mad Men. I've seen him and liked him in lots of things over the years. Saw that old, terrible "Other Boleyn Girl" in which he was, as described, an excellent Henry (and that production was still better than the Johansen/Black Swan bad accent, wooden acting, dull-off) and until this minute I had no idea that he was Richard Harris' son. His father had a touch of magic and Jared's no slouch. Good eyes.

His character in Mad Men was SO pathetic (he played it so well), that it was hard to find him likable. But, he did an amazing job.

I'm surprised and didn't know Richard Harris was his father. Wow. RH was a fantastic actor, I remember him Camelot and A Man called Horse. He was an eloquent talented actor and ran in the same crowd as Richard Burton, Peter O'Toole -- and those were great actors. Now I see where Harris gets his talent.

I hope they finally give Harris an award like the Emmy. He's gone unnoticed for so long because he disappears into his characters. He may not be the most handsome guy but he's talented and consistently gives excellent performances.

by Anonymousreply 62June 18, 2019 5:37 AM

R62. It's not scary like a horror movie with jump scares and imagery that will give you nightmares afterward. It's more a sense of growing dread and desperation that will induce anxiety attacks while you watch it.

by Anonymousreply 65June 18, 2019 12:45 PM

R64, the idea is that humans have been in the belt long enough for their language to diverge and a pidgin to evolve.

ISTR reading that the show consulted with a linguist to make Belter a believable pidgin/creole. Apparently the writers of the books hadn't put that much thought into it.

R64, it's not apparent from the series but in the books Martians are east Asians who speak with a drawl.

Thanks but that doesn't explain why Gunnie (sp?), a Martian, speaks with an Aussie accent.

by Anonymousreply 68June 19, 2019 12:04 AM

Because the TV series doesn't follow the books to a T and Gunnie is a Samoan IRL and probably can't do accents.

I was surprised at how much The Terror was ignored. I was expecting Emmy nods for soundtrack or costuming at least, but it got nothing. Three or four of the actors probably deserved a nomination as well. They didn't get any major award noms, not even a SAG.

Chernobyl will get Limited Series Emmy nom for sure. Harris absolutely deserves leading actor as well.

I'd like to see Stellan and Emily get supporting nominations, but who knows.

by Anonymousreply 79June 19, 2019 10:27 PM

I was there with you, R79. Tobias Menzies also deserved a win. He and Jared's scene on their trek back from the cairn broke my heart. It was so beautifully done.

I also loved seeing Layne Price punching out Peter Campbell in that glorious episode. What a great season that was. Another vote here for his Andy Warhol being the best version, and I also really liked him in Sylvia.
