Michael Gambon: his most memorable roles on screen and on stage

Sir Michael Gambon, whose extraordinary acting career took him from Laurence Olivier’s nascent National Theatre to screen roles in The Singing Detective and the Harry Potter films, has died at the age of 82.

Memorably dubbed “The Great Gambon” by Ralph Richardson, and admired by generations of fellow actors, he excelled in plays by Pinter, Beckett and Ayckbourn. It was Ayckbourn who directed him in 1987 in Arthur Miller’s A View from the Bridge, which won Gambon an Olivier award for his performance. On screen, he starred in huge hits, including the BBC's The Singing Detective.

His supreme performance for all of my First School pupils was as the narrator for Jim Henson's Greek Myths from 1990

What an awful loss. This year just keeps taking the greatest people. His role as Dumbledore will remain one of the things that made the Harry Potter movie series as good.
