Jared Francis Harris (born August 24, 1961) is a British actor who has appeared in film, television, and theater.

In 2007, Harris began a recurring role as Lane Pryce in the 2007 AMC television series Mad Men and was received a Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Supporting Actor for his performance.

The story of Alexander the great (at least in two movies) told step by step and on a 360° view. Alexander was only 20 when inherited the throne of Macedon. Two years later he started a campaign against the mighty Persian Empire, conquering it in less than 10 years, without a single defeat in battle. He died in mysterious circumstances at the age of 32 in Babylon. Probably the best option is to divide the film in three chapters: one about his childhood and the relationship with his parents, one about the events leading to Gaugamela, one about the campaigns in the eastern part of the empire until his death.
