As great as Ed is the wisdom out here is that he can't carry a movie. They'll pay him $3 million to be the second banana in Julia Roberts things. But they won't put up $3 million for an Ed Harris movie.

The only person who had any control was Jonathan Harris. His character was so flamboyant that he was able to make things happen. My character was fairly one-dimensional so I had my relationship with Dr. Smith and with the family.

Although charismatic James Dean is no Harrison Ford. In the majority of his movies sooner or later he got the crap beaten out of him.

I mean Emily Harris was his wife. And she seemed to resent his leadership but on the other hand she felt like a good soldier that he had to be the leader.

With actors like Steve McQueen Paul Newman and Harrison Ford what made them such icons is that even in dramatic movies their characters had a sense of humor.

I'm very silly as a person but quality silliness on-screen has more of an art to it. Harrison Ford whom I was in 'Morning Glory' with has mastered that dry funny better than anyone.

George Harrison was also a pleasure to work with. He was one of the most famous people I've ever known but in spite of that fame he was such a nice and friendly guy.

I wasn't aware of my dad being an actor when I was young. I remember there was an Australian children's entertainer on television called Ralph Harris and when I'd say my father was an actor kids would say you know 'oh is he Ralph Harris?' And I had to say no and then they would lose interest.

Men when they fight in movies it's a very different style. Harrison Ford was so cool when he had the whip and Bruce Lee was such an artist that you couldn't take your eyes off of him.

Every night I fell asleep to a different Beatles album. So I'm very familiar with the Beatles Ringo was my favorite Beatle until I grew up and then changed. I made the switch over to George Harrison just in time to regain my cool.

For my birthday this year my girlfriends - who knew I'd just inherited my dad's turntable - gave me a carton of albums like 'Blue Kentucky Girl ' by Emmylou Harris and 'Off the Wall ' by Michael Jackson. It's all stuff we grew up with. I mean you can't have a music collection without Prince's 'Purple Rain' - it just can't be done!
