Starred in many things of course. I'm a big Maigret fan and arguably he was the best of the four that played that role. Obviously he'll be remembered for his more serious stuff though.

One of Ireland's best-ever actors, and of England's too as I think he was a dual citizen. Seemed to make everything he appeared in better. Saw him on stage a bit in England back in the 80's and 90's and loved him doing that too - not at all hammy, just a fine actor with a great voice that allowed him to speak naturally.

Colin - will check out Maigreat. Thanks.
One of the things I like about Inspector Maigret is he spends the whole episode drinking. Calvados, Armagnac, Belgian beer, white wine, cognac etc. That's when he's not puffing on his pipe and eating mussells, oysters etc. What a life eh ?

RIP . Born in Cabra , Dublin. A fine actor and took over from the desparted Richard Harris to play Dumbledore. Oddly, had a bend named after himself on top gear.

Watched an episode last night, Colin, and loved it. Very droll. Thanks for the recommendation.
They're all on Youtube, folks.

‘My only personal Gambon story is about the framed photo of Robert De Niro he used to carry everywhere and sets up in his dressing room at each new venue. It says, "To Mike, best wishes and love forever, Bob."
I used to spend many happy hours talking to him about when he worked with De Niro and the affection they came to hold for each other. Gambon used to range far and wide about his experiences with the Hollywood master. The photo, of course, is a fake. Gambon wrote the inscription himself. For all I know he has worked since with De Niro, but I'm talking about the 80s when Mike wasn't the international star he is now. It sums him up - he must be a journo's nightmare as you can never be sure that anything he's telling you is truth or fiction.‘
