He was doing Mutiny on the Bounty and there had been problems. Brando had problems with the director and they fired the director. They sent everybody home. They were shooting in Tahiti and my father decided that he was not gonna go back to finish up the movie. And they said, “We need you. We’re halfway through the film, you have to come back.” He said, “Well, I’m not coming back.” “We’ll give you more money.” “I don’t want more money.” They said, “What do you want?” He said, “Third billing.” But no one knew who he was. They said, “Don’t be ridiculous. It’s Marlon Brando, Trevor Howard, and Mutiny on the Bounty.” He said, “Unless it says Marlon Brando, Trevor Howard, and Richard Harris, I’m not going back.” They gave in and they gave him third billing. So the film premieres out in Los Angeles and [my father] was good friends with Robert Mitchum who’d gone to the premiere. He calls him up in London and says, “I’ve just been to the premiere of Mutiny on the Bounty and everybody is talking about you.”

I DIDNT EVEN KNOW HE WAS RICHARD HARRIS' SONJared Harris
