I love Sir Mckellen, but I find this strangely amusing. Did Richard Harris really say that?

shareI don't know of this is what IM is referring to, but in Richard Harris' bio here, under personal quotes, there's this:
No one trusts me any more. I spent half the movie Maigret (1988) (TV) arguing with people and I was accused of causing big on-set rows. But what they won't tell you is I fought for Simeneon. I fought for the maintenance of quality. I don't believe in lying down on the job. I've seen these so-called 'nice' actors. Very able fellows like Ian McKellen and Kenneth Branagh. But they're like bank managers. So sweet and careful. Who needs them? We are suffering a plague of good taste. Give me Sean Penn and Mickey Rourke any day. They project danger. That's what makes acting - and life - interesting.
That might be it.

"McKellen says that while he and Michael Gambon are close friends"
the article also said ^, so he must just be joking or something.

Stefán Karl Stefánsson saved my life.
"McKellen says that while he and Michael Gambon are close friends"
And now I'd like to know how Gambon's friendly feelings for McKellen and Harris' not so friendly comment are connected. Do you think Michael Gambon didn't only take over Harris' last role, but his spirit?

Wow. Thanks for a great quote.
Hats off to Mr. Harris.
