Michael Gambon Arriving At The World Premiere Of Harry Potter And The Deathly Hallows Part 2, In Trafalgar Square In Central London. Actor Michael Gambon, known for playing Professor Albus Dumbledore in multiple "Harry Potter" movies has died, his family said in a statement Thursday. "We are devastated to announce the loss of Sir Michael Gambon," said the statement issued on behalf of his wife, Anne, and son Fergus by publicist Clair Dobbs. He also won three Olivier Awards and two ensemble cast Screen Actors Guild Awards — for 2001's "Gosford Park" and "The King's Speech." But he was perhaps best known for his role as Dumbledore in the "Harry Potter" franchise, taking over the role from the late Richard Harris from the third installment in the eight-movie series.

Gambon began his acting on the stage in the early 1960s and later moved into TV and film. Gambon played down the praise for his performance and said he simply played himself "with a stuck-on beard and a long robe". Michael John Gambon was born on Oct. 19, 1940, in Dublin to a seamstress mother and an engineer father. Gambon left school aged 15 to begin an engineering apprenticeship and by 21 he was fully qualified. He revealed in an episode of "The Late Late Show" in Ireland that he convinced his mother he was friends with the pope.
