TIL that actor Richard Harris only accepted to play Albus Dumbledore because his granddaughter threatened never to speak to him again if he didn't.

I love Richard Harris!

If you like Richard Harris as Dumbledore, be sure to watch the 1960s movie 'Camelot' where he plays King Arthur.

It's based on the 1930s novel about King Arthur 'The Once and Future King' by TH White. One of the best books you'll ever read.

After Harris died my brother and i talked about who should play Dumbledore. After a lot of talk we agreed the guy who played Dantes' cell mate at Chateau D'If in The Count of Monte Cristo would be great. So I looked it up on IMDb. It was Richard Harris.

I loved him in The Count of Monte Cristo, as the priest. Such a good actor.

Is that the one where they have sex in that mossy field and I found it incredibly jarring when my dad showed it to me when I was like 6?

Oh wow, I never made that connection before. Reminds me that I have the overture from Camelot bound to my Pausebreak key.

Thwhite sounds like an onomatopoeia of Spider-Man shooting a web.
