A lilting voice with a fine sawtooth edge handed down from his father, the late Richard Harris Dumbledore No. But Harris is also that valuable thing, an attractive character actor -- not pretty in the way of modern leading men, but more handsome than he lets himself seem and able like Bill Nighy before him, and George Sanders before them both to call on the authority of his looks.
Indeed, both Jones and Lane were dashing in their way, folding their very different complications into a carapace of British politesse and understatement. Yet each also created tension: Jones, because you knew bad things were going to happen to characters you cared about whenever he arrived; Lane, because you cared for him and feared for his tenuous happiness.
While he was disappointed to leave the hit series, Harris told EW that it was "to my benefit to go out with a bang rather than a whimper". Harris also found Lane's failed attempt to die in his car because the Jaguar wouldn't start hilarious: "I laughed my ass off. I just fell off the chair laughing". So, behind the scenes, it wasn't all gloom and doom despite Pryce's ghastly death turning out to be one of the most tragic events in Mad Men.

Why are they doing this to you again? Well, he says, if he were more money-minded, it would be problematic. And in recent years Harris has established himself as one of our finest. He has also established himself as a man with immaculate taste. A tense, beautifully written five-parter about the catastrophe at the nuclear power plant , Chernobyl tells the story of one of the great attempted cover-ups of the 20th century. The Soviet Union was determined not to let the world know that the core of the reactor in Pripyat, northern Ukraine, had exploded.
Telephone wires were cut, people were not allowed to leave the city, and the official in charge of the investigation announced that locals had been exposed to radiation equivalent to a chest x-ray. Officially 31 people died as a direct result of the explosion, but the World Health Organisation estimates that 9, died from radiation exposure, while another estimate puts the figure as high as 60, Harris now lives in the US, but we meet in a London hotel.
While Richard was famous for his sound and fury, Jared is all about restraint and nuance. When his characters emote, they tend to do so with a barely perceptible twitch, the tiniest change in tone, a flush of the cheeks. He is brilliant at playing men who appear to have it all but are struggling inwardly — often silently. Although he identifies as Irish through his father, a militant republican and Welsh his mother , he is now best known for playing characters defined by their Englishness — cut-glass accents, privileged, painfully restrained.
But as a young actor he found it impossible to play these parts.
