RIP
Actor Richard Griffiths has died at the age of 65, it was announced today.
The famed theatrical, television and film actor died yesterday after suffering complications related to heart surgery at the University Hospital of Coventry and Warwickshire.
He starred in Alan Bennett's play The History Boys and appeared in cult classic Withnail and I as the comic Uncle Monty, after getting his start with a small role in Richard Attenborough's Gandhi - but he found a new audience of fans as Vernon Dursley in the Harry Potter films.

Wow...I thought he was older than 65. I'll definitely be praying for his family.

He was a delightfully funny actor.

One of my favorite roles of his was his brief appearance in Tim Burton's Sleepy Hollow. Though now it's probably gonna be hard to watch that certain scene (If you've seen the movie, you know what scene I'm talking about).

This was a bummer, to say the least. First major HP death since Richard Harris?

I'm not too surprised; the last few times I've seen him, he looked sickly and awful. He was a very good actor and I wish his family well. Rest in peace.

Yeah. This is too bad. He was also in stage versions of Equus and Twelve Angry Men.
