This man was phenomenal!
RIP Dumbledore.

Great actor.RIP
One of my favourite actors. RIP The Singing Detective.
Layer Cake……. What a guy, RIP
Yes indeed. I remember thoroughly enjoying him in that series, Dennis Potter of course, and made more poignant for me as I have psoriatic arthritis, fortunately nowhere near as badly as the detective, or Potter.
He was genuinely frightening in The Cook, the Thief, His Wife & Her Lover. And he was one of those actors when you read their filmography, you see a wide range of excellent performances.
Thanks for that, I had forgotten that Top Gear used to be quite tolerable, by and by. Michael Gambon was one of those actors whose listing in the cast of a film, show or whatever , meant, it was going to be well worth taking a look, thanks to the man for so much quality entertainment.
RIP indeed. I was very luck to see him performing Krapp's Last Tape in 2010 (I'd missed Harold Pinter in the same role shortly before he died and have always regretted it) and always thoroughly enjoyed his wit when interviewed. Also pleased to see that there is as much coverage of his wider body of work and not just bloody Harry Potter.
Lovely chap. I worked with him once, years ago (child actor, RSC and BBC, Play for Today - remember them?)
He was delightful - friendly, supportive, funny.
I remember him fondly and will raise a glass to his memory this evening.
Best wishes,
Martyn.
What a shame. Great sense of humour and as already mentioned he was a mark of quality on any film
Layer cake. Rarely had a leathery tanned old aged gangster carried such threat.
RIP
He once played a shrimp in the RSC, apparently:
he was my favourite English "maigret" far better than rowan Atkinson & Rupert Davis, RIP
Watch The Cook,the Thief, his Wife and her Lover. He plays a right B@sta*d.
Fantastic actor

Like many fellow members, I always enjoyed watching Sir Michael.
His dry sense of humour and the way he said it was an honour to watch.
One of the all time great actors.
Sir, thank you for all the pleasure you bought to millions of us.
RIP.
BBC R4's Last Word covered Gambon today. More of his big fibs/wind-ups revealed.
