I'm a big, big fan of Ed Harris. Everything he is in from Knightriders, The Abyss to Apollo 12 he gives a solid performance. This from Jeffrey Wells over on Hollywood Elsewhere.Kirk Douglas, Ed Harris at last night's Santa Barbara Film Festival tribute dinner (formally called the "third annual Kirk Douglas Award for Excellence in Film") honoring Appaloosa director Ed Harris. Three tribute reels were shown; the first was the most moving and impressive. Harris has made 54 films since his breakout part in The Right Stuff 25 years ago, and for whatever reason -- laziness? -- I hadn't really taken the full measure of all the distinctive muscular performances he's given. Quite a resume, quite a man. The Pollock clips drew the strongest applause. My favorite Harris characters -- Moss in Glengarry Glen Ross, E.Howard Hunt in Nixon.
What's your favourite Ed Harris performance? Are you looking forward to Appaloosa?

Apollo 12? Was that a prequel to Apollo 13?
I would have to say Alamo Bay or Creep Show. Loved his performance in Pollock as well. Im thinking I like Ed Harris the most when hes playing a broken kind of character.
Doh! Well spotted Anonymous. Looks like a clicked on the wrong number. 13 it is! LOL!
I do like The Abyss
Typos aside that's a good little posting there. Wasn't aware of the event. Ed Harris deserves it. Doesn't Kirk Douglas look so old though. I thought he was dead to be honest.
I like the site - Agree with the Indy 4 review
