For fig's sake! I've been under a rock! All this time I've watched Jared, and I didn't know he was Richard's son!

Hats off to Tom Green for letting the actor speak without unnecessary interjections and speed reading through the questions.

[deliaiglesias]

Like father like son! I love both if them.❤

It's amazing to see how Jared's career just keeps evolving and peaking in the latter stages. Truly one of the most solid and versatile actors around these days, which the amount of Emmy nominations also speak volumes of

Jared Harris' voice is goals and he is an amazing actor...Richard Harris was just ...one of those men...one of those actors... that you could not resist even if you tried your outmost best...he could capture you completely...he made you follow him...obey him...whatever he did ...whatever he said...

[victoreem]

honesty i think he is a great actor the fact that richarc is his father for me came later and is like a bonus

[SoniListon-lucn]

I adore Richard Harris, and yet, never knew he had a son that is an actor! Its so heartwarming to know that there is another Harris taking the torch 😊 He is clearly different, his own man, yet the mutual characteristics are there and are so pleasing

I had been thinking that he is not like his father(Richard, my most favourite actor).But when I heard him sing in"Game of shadows", I recognized he had been given beautifl voice from his father（Im Japanese please forgive my poor English）

[javiersp]

Tom Green asking serious questions? wow.. kudos.

[Omegasupreme]

Loved his role in Last of the Mohicans.

[jakemoo]

I think I met him in the Bahamas, came into the Casino with his father who sat next to me and played Baccarat. He was probably in his twenties, he looked 14 years old. Red hair. Richard had a house in Nassau.

He really should of played young Dumbledore

[veronicadredd]

The older he gets the more he morphs into his Father, it's poignant that he is now filming apple TVs The Foundation in his fathers native city, and played a vet in an Animated movie Angelas christmas set in Limerick

[maryfitzpatrick]

[amyartwork]
