Inheritance Tracks - Jared Harris

From playing Lane Price in Mad Men to King George VI in the Crown, and now Claudius in the Royal Shakespeare Company’s production of Hamlet, performing is in Jared Harris' blood.

His earliest memory is being in Hawaii while his late father – the actor Richard Harris – was filming a movie with Julie Andrews.

But as a child, he wanted to be an astronaut...which might explain his Inheritance Tracks.

Inherited: Fly Me to the Moon by Tony Bennett
Passed on: The Galaxy Song by Monty Python

Producers: Ben Mitchell and Jack Lee
