Richard E Grant has said that his daughter was treated “appallingly” by “very well known household names” in the British film and TV industry while working as a runner.
On a film and TV set, a production runner is someone who works behind the scenes to assist the producer, often carrying out jobs such as transporting equipment or materials, and communicating messages.
Grant, the 67-year-old star of Withnail & I, was asked in a recent interview with Sky News what the most “underappreciated” role in the film and TV industry was.
“The runners, who are paid the least amount of money,” he responded. “They’re the youngest. They get there at five in the morning, they’re the last to leave, and if anything goes wrong, they get flung from a dizzy height.”
“I know because my daughter was a runner for two years. And was appallingly treated by some very well known household names, in England,” he continued.
Grant explained that the figures in question, whom he did not name, had “changed their tune” when they “found out who her father was”.
“[That] made it worse,” Grant added. “It made me damn those people even more.”
The actor was then asked if he had ever met any of the famous figures who had mistreated his daughter.
“I’ve met one person, yeah, and I’ll never speak to him again,” he replied.
Grant’s daughter, Olivia Grant, now works as casting director; her credits include the Apple TV+ series Masters of the Air, and the recent Lee Miller biopic Lee.
Grant was married to voice coach Joan Washington from 1986 until her death from lung cancer in September 2021.

The actor opened up about grief in a 2023 interview with The Independent. “I don’t talk out loud [to my late wife], but after 38 years together I know I can anticipate or predict what her response to whatever’s happening in my day would be,” he said.
“So I have a silent conversation with her, especially at the steering wheel at the end of a day, or at the end of a show… cross-reference what she would be thinking.”
In another recent interview, Grant revealed how Only Murders in the Building star Steve Martin helped him recover from a nervous breakdown in 1999 after becoming “angry and unhappy with his life and career”.

Convicted murderers Erik and Lyle Menendez are not a danger to society, according to Los Angeles County District Attorney George Gascón.
The Menendez brothers, who are serving life sentences for the 1989 murders of their parents, José and Kitty, have been back in the public eye since the release of Ryan Murphy’s Netflix series Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story.
In a new interview with People, Gascón was asked whether he considered the pair dangerous and replied: “Based on everything that I know, I don’t believe that they are.
“Quite frankly, they probably haven’t been for a very long time, if they ever were. I think this is not like they were going around killing people or robbing people on the street.”
In the interview, Gascón said he planned to make a decision on whether to recommend resentencing the brothers by the end of the week, after after he discusses the case with his office’s habeas and resentencing units. A judge will ultimately decide their fate.
“I’ll be listening to not only the briefing, but recommendations from both teams,” said Gascón. “That also plays a role. Because they’re not just sort of an agnostic presenter. They’re going to be presenting what they think should be the outcome. I expect one will be saying, ‘No relief,’ one will be saying, ‘Yes, provide relief,’ and I’ll evaluate both of them.”
Earlier this month, Kim Kardashian called for the brothers to be released, weeks after the reality star visited them in prison.
In a personal essay for NBC News, Kardashian wrote: “We are all products of our experiences. They shape who we were, who we are, and who we will be. Physiologically and psychologically, time changes us, and I doubt anyone would claim to be the same person they were at 18. I know I’m not!”
The Kardashians star went on to argue that the case against the brothers is “much more complex than it appears on the surface.”

She argued that the sexual, physical and emotional abuse the pair claimed they suffered at the hands of their parents was not adequately taken into account and that media attention around the case meant “Erik and Lyle had no chance of a fair trial.”
While she acknowledged that “the killings are not excusable,” Kardashian said she believes “the trial and punishment these brothers received were more befitting a serial killer than two individuals who endured years of sexual abuse by the very people they loved and trusted.”
Kardashian is a longtime advocate for criminal justice reform and is reported to have discussed prison reform with the inmates during her prison visit.
Monsters stars Javier Bardem and Chloë Sevigny as José and Kitty, with Cooper Koch and Nicholas Chavez as the brothers.
Since the series arrived on Netflix, viewers have been cautioning others on social media about the graphic nature of the violence depicted in the show.

The pair have always maintained they are “just friends”,
However, according to the Mail the pair were seen getting VERY close at the afterparty for the Pride of Britain Awards.
The outlet said a fan saw Maura “planting a kiss on Pete’s nose before the pair kissed on the lips”.
This latest news, comes weeks after they were seen “all over each other” in a pub, when Maura joined Pete and his Strictly co-stars in the pub.
READ MORE ON Maura and Pete
An onlooker told The Sun: “They were chatting to Pete’s co-star Wynne Evans and it was very clear they were more than just friends.
“Things have clearly turned romantic as they were all over each other.
“At one point she ran her hands through his hair under his hat, and they were cuddling loads too.
“They looked really cosy and comfortable with each other.”
The pair first got fans all hot under the collar when they were pictured kissing in a posh bar in London.
An onlooker told The Sun Pete came to join Maura at the posh five star hotel where she had been having lunch with friends.
They said: “Maura had been sitting on the terrace with friends for an hour before Pete arrived.
“After they’d sat there for a while Maura went in for a long kiss with Pete. It wasn’t the kind of kiss you’d give a friend, it was very passionate.
“Maura and Pete seemed to be really into each other and kept looking into each other’s eyes before kissing again a number of times.

“When it got dark they moved into the hotel’s Flute bar and Pete sat with his arm around Maura all evening.
“They were all over each other. They looked totally in love and weren’t trying to hide it from anyone.”
Pete and Maura, who appeared on Love Island in 2019, were also spotted together in public at the TV Bafta awards in May.
Chivalrous Pete was photographed helping Maura into a taxi following the party at London’s Royal Festival Hall.
The Strictly has star recently addressed the ongoing romance rumours.
It came when the former Towie star appeared on Olivia Attwood‘s podcast.
Getting straight to the point she said to him: “Your dating life. Maura Higgins…”
To which Pete replied: “Me and Maura have known each other for a long time.”
Olivia was keen on hearing more, and said: “You’ve had a kiss, we’ve seen it!”
But Pete denied there was anything more than friendship between the duo, replying: “No, you haven’t seen it.”
However, Olivia seemed insistent on getting to the bottom of the story as she continued to press her pal.
Doubling down, she stated: “We’ve seen a picture of it,” as Pete continued to deny the existence of such an image.
