While the late actor Richard Harris initially thought Clint Eastwood's phone call was a prank, we're glad he didn't stick with the iconic role.
Clint Eastwood treats actors like horses
Although Richard Harris may have thought he was the target of a prank, Clint Eastwood was sure he wanted the legendary actor for one of his finest films.
Richard Harris passed away in 2002 after leading an extremely successful career as an actor. It has been over two decades since his passing but his legacy still lives on, especially in the hearts of Harry Potter fans. He played Professor Dumbledore in the first two Harry Potter films, the latter of which was released after his death.
Although he was best known as our favorite Hogwarts professor, Richard Harris had many other iconic roles in his portfolio, including Gulliver in Gulliver's Travels, King Arthur in Camelot, and so on. Clint Eastwood's Unforgiven is one such film that can be considered the best work of his career.
