Jared Harris says that if only he had played Lane Pryce as he was meant to, he would have probably lasted the duration of Mad Men. Pryce, the financial executive at the TV drama’s advertising agency, was supposed to be a right bastard – and the show’s creator Matthew Weiner famously said baddies don’t get written out. But Harris doesn’t do bastards. He will always find a way to humanise a character – a sprinkling of vulnerability here, a dash of tenderness there.
in real life too dying is like you’ve been written out of a series. there is going to be a sequel or another series but you’re not in it. all you can hope is that it’s jumped the shark already anyway.
What a lovely man.
