"Dumbledore" actor dead
Richard Harris, the actor who plays Dumbledore in Harry Potter, has died of lymphoma.:( The article said that the director used a stand-in for some of Harris' last scenes.
I'm sad because Harris had finally turned his life around (big druggie awhile back) and because he was the perfect Dumbledore. I wonder how they can ever find someone who can compare? |
With all the media coverage, this is the first that I heard of his death. It is indeed sad, because he was such a perfect fit for the character. I wonder who could ever replace him and do such a wonderful job.
|
The only actor I can think of off the top of my head is Ian McKellan, but he's currently busy playing Gandolf in the LOTR trilogy!

Someone left the cake out in the rain.
I don't think that I can take it Cause it took so long to bake it And I'll never have that recipe again. Rest in peace, Richard. Or party your butt off, whichever you prefer. |
When I think of Richard Harris, I think of Camelot/King Arthur, not Dumbledore! LOL!

Here in England this was all over the headlines last weekend.
I didn't read most of the articles, but I do remember some columnist mentioning Sean Connery as a possible replacement. Whatever is decided - it will have to be quick - the next movie starts shooting in March next year! |
My mum told me about this over the weekend. I was sad to hear it. This guy was the perfect Prof Dumbledore--just like I imaged from reading the books.

I think I saw on Enter. Tonight that his grandchildren convinced him to take the role.... lol... by saying they would not talk to him again. He apparently had NO CLUE about the Harry Potter Series!!!!!!!!!! :D |
That's so sad...He was the PERFECT guy for the part! I wonder how they'll work that out with the rest of the series of movies!?

Same thing for me! Also-A Man called Horse. |
Found this on aintitcoolnews.com today. If you can't have Gandalf would you take Saruman?
Keep in mind this is from London's Sun so it might not be true. http://www.thesun.co.uk/article/0,,2-2002500845,00.html |
The only movies I've seen of him are HP, Gladiator and Count of Monte Cristo. Overall I loved his performances.
