Michael Gambon

$1,000

Born October 19, 1940 - One of Britain's most revered stage performers, Michael Gambon was described by the late Sir Ralph Richardson as "The Great Gambon." He began earning recognition for his work in such films as Peter Greenaway's The Cook, the Thief, His Wife and Her Lover (1989), which cast him as the sadistic thief. Gambon once again caught the attention of audiences in Robert Altman's much-praised comedy Gosford Park before taking over the late Richard Harris's role as Albus Dumbledore in 2004's Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, subsequently portraying the character for the remainder of the films. A classic choice.
