** This can be seen in an outtake clip from ''Film/TheRock'' where Harris needed multiple takes to film an intense scene where he's dressing down a politician over the phone. At one point he was so angry over flubbing the line that he started punching the table in front of him. In the next take, he breaks off to yell at an offscreen stagehand who was running the smoke machine. He ''immediately'' stops himself, apologizes sincerely, and says it's nothing personal, he's just frustrated.
