Michael Gambon passed away last month at the age of 82.
Last week, actor Michael Gambon who brought Albus Dumbledore to life in six of the eight Harry Potter films, died at the age of 82 after a bout with pneumonia. Now, Harry Potter actor Daniel Radcliffe is paying tribute to the actor, remembering Gambon as someone he didn't talk acting with who had a passion for restoring antique pistols.
He also spoke about how playful the actor was on set and his ability to quickly get into character when the cameras started rolling. Gambon initially joined the Harry Potter franchise in the third film, Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, taking over the role of Dumbledore following the death of actor Richard Harris. Fiona Shaw, who played Petunia Dursley in the films, remembered Gambon's work mimicking Harris' accent when he took over the role.
Harris' son, Jared, also remembered Gambon with praise, even noting that Gambon had been his father's favorite actor.
