Of motorsport fame as well…namesake of Top Gear’s Gambon corner!

Thank you, ctrl+f did not fail me today.
That was my immediate thought
This is the second actor that’s died after playing dumbledore. The only conclusion is the part is cursed.
Yes. It is cursed with old age.
Waiting for the third one to die now…
I for one, hope Jude Law will stay with us for a long time still.
He was in the best Doctor Who Christmas Special
And he was so much better there than in Harry Potter too. Either he didn’t like that role or he got bad direction.
Smith seriously had the best specials, and A Christmas Carol is so great. Gambon did a fantastic job in the episode.
Rest in peace.
Growing up, I loved the Harry Potter movies. I really, really did.
But part of growing older is realizing that I didn’t like Harry Potter as much as I use to.
All good things will unfortunately come to an end one day, but there’s not a set ending to our stories yet.
We should make the best of the time we have here.
The Potterverse (shoot me) suffers from the same problem as Star Wars: an overzealous creator who, as it turns out, probably just got lucky the first time around and is doing their best to sully any good memories people may have of the franchise.
He was amazing in Gosford Park (2001). It’s sad it’s such a little known movie.
It’s strange that it’s not as well known given that it was Julian Fellowes’ proto-Downton Abbey. It’s one of my favorite movies of all time and it’s like a who’s-who of the best of British actors.
The cast is absolute dynamite. It’s one of my vary favorite as well.
I adore that film. It was the template for Downton Abbey, created by the writer of Gosford Park.
Julian Fellowes!
I liked him in Layer Cake
I know its way down the list of his credits, but i thought he was amazing in Layer Cake.
Me and my friend quote the shit out of Eddie Temple all the time.
At least this Dumbledore made it through the rest of the movies (>!until Snape got to him!<)
Psst, your spoiler didn’t work.
Also the movie is 14 years old, and the book it’s based on is almost 20. So I think the statute on spoilers passed a long time ago.
Yeah. But it’s nice that they tried. Up vote for trying!
He reaches Kings Cross Station
He’ll get where he’s going. 😢
Pretty sure Dumbledore was not Michael Gambon’s defining work. I remember one time he did a thing where it was just him with a fixed camera and facial expressions, he actually made it work. RIP.
Pretty sure Dumbledore was not Michael Gambon’s defining work.
I agree, but unfortunately these articles usually choose the most recent and/or widely known work to mention in the headline even if it may not adequately represent the best of the person’s career.
Yeah, it was definitely TOYS…
Damn, I was literally just having a conversation about Michael Gambon yesterday. Spooky. RIP.
That’s not spooky. It’s the law of large numbers.
Shit
Rest In Peace, Prophet Varen. I will always hear your voice when I see the word “Vestige”.
You’ll be missed.
😔
What a good man!
