In London, Richard Harris received three lifetime achievement awards within ten days. At the Irish World Awards in Cricklewood on February 26, I had the chance to be his tablemate. This came after his awards at the London Film Critics and from Empire magazine.

I chose the Irish World Awards over Eminem's performance at the Brit Awards because, after eight months in Europe, I hadn't visited Dublin yet and Cricklewood was just a short tube ride away.

The evening was a great introduction to Irish uniqueness. I was entertained with showbiz insights from various people like Eric "Monster" Hall, Ros Hubbard, Graham Knutel, Rosemary Reed, Noel Kelly, Caroline DeWolf, and Terence Doyle. But Harris was the star.

Harris has a reputation as a showbiz gladiator. He's endured the challenges of the industry for 40 years, from a Cannes winner in the 1960s to a recording star, leading man, and back with an Oscar nomination in the 1990s. Besides his acting credits, he also has a lot of local lore associated with him. He had conflicts with Charlton Heston and Pauline Kael, which only made him more interesting to me.

Our first conversation started with his rather controversial view on seat belts, but then we moved to highbrow topics. Once I showed interest in Irish culture, the discussion became more free - flowing. Thanks to Harris, I learned about Pat Jennings, Patrick Kavanagh, and Doolin. Harris praised Jennings and was very adamant about the importance of Kavanagh, even reciting his poem "Sanctity".

Despite his rebel reputation, when it comes to showbiz business, Harris is serious. He's been working for years to secure the novel rights for a project with his son, "Julian's Last Dance". It's based on James Kennaway's work and tells the story of a man at 40, facing cancer and a choice between two women. Harris thinks Jeremy Irons would be perfect for the role.

Before the evening ended, our conversation covered many topics across continents. He praised Gore Vidal as the most brilliant essayist. He disagreed with the critics' view of Luchino Visconti's "Death in Venice" and thought Dirk Bogarde was under - recognized. He also liked Jonathan Pryce's "Macbeth" and Russell Crowe in "Gladiator" because Crowe isn't a phony. In Harris' view, that's the ultimate achievement.
