You may not recognize
veteran character actor Jared Harris by name, but you would definitely
recognize his face and his accomplished body of work. The English born actor,
who is also the son of legendary actor Richard Harris (Harry Potter and the
Sorcerer’s Stone), is probably best known for his role as Lane Pryce on the hit
AMC show Mad Men. But the actor has also appeared in numerous film and
television projects including a recurring role on the Fox series Fringe, as
well as high-profile parts in movies like Mr. Deeds, Resident Evil: Apocalypse, Lady in the Water, and The Curious Case of Benjamin Button. In fact, the actor
will soon be seen in the pivotal role of the villain Professor Moriarty in the
upcoming film Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows. But first you can catch Harris’ excellent character work in legendary horror director John Carpenter’s
new film The Ward, which opens in theaters on July 8th.
The movie is a psychological thriller that revolves around a young girl named Kristen (Amber Heard from Drive Angry) who is admitted to a psychiatric hospital in 1966 where she begins to believe that a mysterious and deadly ghost is haunting her. As the specter gets closer and closer to her, she starts to realize that the true threat to her life … might actually be herself. In the film, Harris plays the creepy Dr. Stringer, the man in charge of the psychiatric hospital who may or may not be trying to help the girls. The movie also features Lyndsy Fonseca (Kick Ass), Danielle Panabaker (Sky High), Mamie Gummer (Taking Woodstock), and newcomer Laura Leigh as Kristen’s fellow inmates at the hospital.
