My Take
George Harris, born in Grenada, owns one of those faces you never forget even when the name escapes you. Kingsley Shacklebolt in Harry Potter, Captain Katanga in Raiders of the Lost Ark, the arms dealer Atto in Black Hawk Down, plus founding work on Casualty, all stamped with a grave, commanding presence. What impresses me is the trajectory: a small Caribbean island to the heart of global blockbusters takes uncommon force of personality. He says little yet leaves a deep imprint, and I genuinely admire actors who achieve that. Now retired, he is a quiet treasure I would happily watch return.
