ED HARRIS - HARRIS STEERS CLEAR OF REVIEWS 30 YEARS LATER

HARRIS STEERS CLEAR OF REVIEWS 30 YEARS LATER

Veteran actor ED HARRIS refuses to read his reviews, because he still remembers the negative critical reaction to a theatre performance he gave 30 years ago. Harris, best known for his roles in movies such as Pollock, The Rock and A History Of Violence, is returning to the Los Angeles stage in Neil LaBute play Wrecks. But Harris will be steering clear of his reviews, following the less-than-favourable reaction to a 1977 production he appeared in. He says, "As a rule, I don't read reviews because it's one person's opinion, and while you're in the midst of doing a play, it's not helpful. "There are certain things L.A. critics said of theatre I did in '77 that are still in my head that aren't necessarily positive things."
