How about a little praise for how Letterman handled these interviews. He knew when he was in the presence of greatness and did a great job with both of these guys.

[@terrymckenzie8786]

He never bowed to greatness. That’s his schtick. I remember one show after the band was playing in the intermission he wanted to thank Mick Jagger who was sitting in with the band, and then went straight to the snow without saying anything more about Jagger until later in the show. 😂

[@selcotsimeht]

@@nagolhayze9366 No problem! You are right. And that is why there is a good reason they called him and a few others hellraisers. Ultimately most of their lives outside acting were misbehaving, drinking and womanizing. There's another story he had in hospital, long before he actually died, but was in very bad health. They called in a Priest for him to confess in case his condition worsened, he joked at the priest and said he surely would not confess, because if he confessed all of his sins, he said to the Priest, you'd surely rip your collar off now and leave the church..

But what the reviewer said, which I'm sure was supposed to be saucy and judgemental, was true. The part I remember was that he walked about the stage often looking into the audience "as if to say 'yes, it is I, Peter O'Toole, looking back at you". 'Twas true and not something for an actor to do, but I kind of liked it. He was the only blonde that I can remember admiring and that all began with him in "Lawrence of Arabia".

WRONG! O'Toole was, by no stretch of the imagination a "Method" actor. He was classically trained in the British theatre model, with never a thought of "character motivation", nor to the exclusive emphasis on verisimilitude, both of which "features" dominate that "school" of acting referred to by the name "Method". The Method was popularized in America, after its "birth" in Russia, out of the work of the director, Stanislavski.

When did he play Dumbledore?

[@Funkybassplayer]

@@54tristin 2001 and 2002. First two movies.

[@tonychan8558]

Any other person, these stories would just be normal. In the hands of master story tellers like O'Toole and Harris, they produce absolute GOLD! There will never be anyone like these two in the world of entertainment for a very very long time.

[@silverapples75]

'Don't wish to waste time looking at the wrong wrist'. LOL!!! 😂😂😂

[@chrislrenaud]

I was unexpectedly moved at this compilation, and by your desire to make it, and at the passage of time, and the fondness developed by all three men. Bravo, and thank you, sir.

[@joaomachado5574]

His reason for wearing a watch on each wrist is absolutely brilliant. Loved his acting and character so much.

[@truebluebrit7632]

I am convinced that Peter and Richard are domiciled in Heaven and take center stage every night - even God appreciates a good laugh and I believe that their stories have them rolling in the aisles - we wish they were still around for their like can never be reproduced - thankfully to U-Tube we have these invaluable pieces that depict the art of story telling that only O'Toole and Harris could master. I am an Anglo Irish gal myself and believe me no-one can tell a story like the Irish. They were grand!!!

[@ColleenMEA]

The Irish have a great and historical tradition of story telling as history and formal entertainment, witnessed here in spades.

[@joaosousa8247]

"So we bought the bar..." - funniest punchline I've heard in a long time!

That was wonderful. I met Richard Harris at a long gone record store, Sam Goody, in Times Square when I was 13. He was there to sign his hit record. He was very late, but showed up eventually. He asked me who I wanted to sign the album for. I told him, Tiger, and he asked who that was. I told him it was a cat that wandered into my backyard and had kittens in our shed. He looked at me for a moment, and asked if I really wanted a record signed for my cat. I smiled, and said yes. He signed, "To Tiger, from Richard Harris." And walked away shaking his head. I have not idea why I told him to write that. I was very nervous meeting him.

[@22GAURA]

Lucky you, I would love to have met this man!!

[@anniep3737]

Amazing. Who would have thought to download nearly 3 hours of interviews with 2 legendary actors & 1.4 million people will sit & watch it. Genius.

[@karinhartmann8383]

You are being missed a lot, Mr O 'Toole !

[@chrisredig1381]

OK so tell us all why you miss him

[@aberamagold7509]

Watching Peter O'Toole being interviewed can go one if two ways; he's either very entertaining or he's mumbling and talking in circles. Both are good because you just know he's hammered.

[@benjaminglover1570]

Always fun. Can`t believe its gone. Thats`s how we were.

[@insanezombie1974]

I actually saw him play Hamlet. Oh my what a fantastic show

[@jasonmonaghan6606]

I'd give anything to have a drink at a pub with these two guys at the same time... But unfortunately that can't happen so we have these amazing stories here on KZbin. Thanks for the laughter guys.

[@cryss8032]

"I have a talent for disobedience" - what a lovely understatement. I've been there myself. So do miss him.

[@lilatravelpartners]

Who?

[@yaimavol]

Ha Ha, yes but disobedience meant self-destruction in his case.

[@loveyourself1993.]

I first knew about Richard Harris as Dumbledore years ago and just recently, I started binge watching all these old interviews of him sharing all these outrageous and funny stories. I didn't know how entertaining he was! Now, there are moments when I go "Oh, I forgot he was Dumbledore!". I just can't put those two together for some reason. Is it just me?

[@tchalk]

hes just a great actor

[@johnworf]

he's great in "a man called horse".

[@craigoliver8712]

@@johnworf love it great film

[@Nassuklovni]

These gentlemen smoke, drank, took drugs and loved women. They lived life on their own terms and had countless stories to tell. Now the talk shows are filled with Shia LaWhoTheFuckCaress, who talk about wheatgrass enemas, and going to rehab after they noticed, that they drank a whole case of craft IPA's during one long weekend.

[@richardkolenda298]

I have had a personal reunion, a friendship renewal, with a dear old friend. Our get-togethers are at some wonderful old pubs every Saturday-noon of the month. We have both watched this collection. I view a bit of it every Saturdaymorning before I'm driven to the clubs to spice the mood. What incredible stories! What enjoyment! Cheers!

[@richardkolenda298]

My best friend Wayne Knipe passed away suddenly in his sleep Friday night 8/11/23. I will always treasure him and these clips that we loved.

[@mykingdomforak9]

​@@richardkolenda298 🌌 So sorry to read of your personal loss, Richard. 🌠 💗 Bless you. 💞

[@shukis17]

"If you think I'm drunk ma'am you better wait till O'Toole makes his entrance!" That must've cracked the whole audience up lol. Also Peter O'Toole's posture is something extraordinary, makes him look robotic.

[@ShogunateDaimyo]

I literally lmao at that story. Great retelling!

[@lilliehalumi8770]

Epic presentation, thank you. My all time favorite is Peter's entrance on the camel. His noble transport was thirsty. Peter and Richard were marvelous at telling stories, as was Omar Sharif. Miss them, men like them just don't exist anymore.

[@captur69]

Not only did they break the mold..after theses two the buried it ...forever..we'll never see there like again..

[@beekay5914]

O'Toole is an impish god. A legend. Lawrence of Arabia, Becket, so may great movies.

[@scotmac5143]

It really looks like Letterman loves listening to O'tooles stories. 👂😍

[@banjoturtle]

It's wild to see how O'Toole, Harris, AND Dave age through the years. Thank you for the compilation!

[@michaelrmurphy2734]

At least one is still with us. :(

[@urbsurbisf]

It's so therapeutic to watch the two narrate... It's like watching someone become life once given the opportunity.

[@Incomudro1963]

Amazing that this man lived to 81 tears of age. They don't make them like this anymore.

[@kbchaffin53]

He really was the son of an Irish bookie. So he believed in the odds. A brilliant stage actor, Industrial Strength.

[@jward9637]

He was such a gem. RIP O’Toole! Richard Harris was such a funny man. A real tough Irishman. RIP Richard

[@davidmkeane1]

My dad used to play cards with him around this time back in Clifden in Ireland, considered a back water then. O'Toole used to love winding people up, especially by singing god save the Queen (this was rural Ireland in the seventies) One nights he got a few punches for doing it, and when he begged for forgiveness he sang it again. And again, and again. He didn't care less about the Queen of course, he liked the hell

[@Hands2HealNow]

Great story!

[@loribernardisunwell9663]

My kind of person 😁

[@dnhy7951]

Yeah, Clifden ain't a backwater any mo! The Kardashians are always stopping by and the Dalai Lama spends every summer there.Yes, indeedy....

[@billmcdonald4045]

I think Peter lived every minute loaded. Letterman got the best out of both of them along with many of his guests, Great host!

Peter O’Toole’s epitaph is “Good night and Joy be with you all” ☘️♥️ Thank you for sharing their joy with us! This was as much fun as these 2 memorable legends were/are. Thank you for this wonderful video! I laughed with you all! ☘️♥️ 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🌹🌿🌹🌿

[@frehleyrox]

I could listen to these two tell stories forever. Classic. Style. Class and charm. Peter and Richards smiles are infectious and their child like demeanor is envious.

[@kaypee4704]

Peter O'toole, Richard Harris, Omar Sharif, Alec Guinness, Sir John Gielgud, James Mason. Richard Burton...... those were the times, when Quality drama, (stage and movies), entertained us..... they don't come like this anymore...... just Millennials garbage in present day...🙂🙂.... thanks for uploading...♥️♥️♥️🇺🇸

And not forgetting Oliver Reed...he is something else. Just love these classic gentlemen
