He always plays Ed Harris, this time dressed as Beethoven. Can you find where John Wayne played anybody except himself? He won the award for True Grit because he doubled down on playing himself. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

Given the nature of the show, both the $1000/day and $10000/day figures may have been stated. "Everyone is entitled to his own opinion, but not to his own facts." Daniel Patrick Moynihan |

Ed Harris is the Whit Bissell of his day. Remember Whit? He was in hundreds of movies and TV shows, always playing himself flawlessly. From 1940 to 1984 he was never out of work, 318 credits. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

It always reminds me of a 70’s rock band (Aerosmith/Journey). |

He played the younger version of himself. He played an irritated angry FBI agent in The Firm. He often plays irritated angry authority figures, it's in his bag of the 3 characters he plays, different versions of Ed Harris. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

I don't get it. Do you like Ed Harris or not? First you mock him for having no range (playing himself every time), then praise John Wayne for also having no range. The good actors can do comedy, romance, action/thriller equally well. John Wayne did Westerns, that's it. That was himself. |

Wizard Administrator Member since: Oct 23, 2012 Threads: 239 Posts: 6095 | Speaking of John Wayne, we recently laid a family member to rest at a nice cemetery in Newport Beach. Coincidentally, he is about 200 feet from John Wayne's grave. This picture was taken after the service. Knowledge is Good -- Emil Faber |
