The world mourns the loss of esteemed actor Sir Michael Gambon, who passed away at the age of 82, according to his family’s announcement. Sir Michael was widely recognized for his iconic portrayal of Professor Albus Dumbledore in six of the eight Harry Potter films.

Born in Dublin, Sir Michael’s family relocated to London during his childhood, but he embarked on his acting journey with his very first stage performance in Ireland, appearing in a production of Othello in Dublin in 1962. His career soared when he became one of the founding members of Laurence Olivier’s National Theatre acting ensemble in London, earning three Olivier awards for his remarkable performances in National Theatre productions.

Throughout his illustrious six-decade career, Sir Michael’s talents graced TV, film, theatre, and radio. He garnered four BAFTA awards for his outstanding contributions to the entertainment industry. His widow, Lady Gambon, and son, Fergus, shared that their “beloved husband and father” peacefully passed away in the hospital, surrounded by family, after battling pneumonia.

Beyond the wizarding world of Harry Potter, Sir Michael took on notable roles, such as French detective Jules Maigret in the ITV series Maigret and Philip Marlow in Dennis Potter’s The Singing Detective on the BBC. He stepped into the shoes of Dumbledore, the revered headmaster of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, following the passing of Richard Harris in 2003.

Sir Michael’s filmography included remarkable performances in Dad’s Army, Gosford Park, and The King’s Speech, where he portrayed King George V, the father of King George VI. He received Emmy nominations for his role as Mr. Woodhouse in an adaptation of Jane Austen’s Emma in 2010 and for his portrayal of President Lyndon B. Johnson in Path to War in 2002. Additionally, he earned a Tony nomination in 1997 for his part in David Hare’s play Skylight.

In recognition of his exceptional contributions to the entertainment industry, Sir Michael Gambon was knighted in 1998. Despite his Irish roots, he became a British citizen during his childhood.

Fondly known as “The Great Gambon” among his peers in the acting world, his final stage appearance took place in 2012 in a London production of Samuel Beckett’s play All That Fall.

Irish Prime Minister Leo Varadkar paid tribute, describing Sir Michael as “a great actor” who gave his all to every performance, whether in the works of Beckett, Dennis Potter, or the magical world of Harry Potter created by J.K. Rowling.
