Always got a kick out of Jeremy Clarkson revisiting Gambon's hilariously unhinged Star In A Reasonably Priced Car run on Top Gear.

RIP

I first really became aware of Gambon when he played John Harrison in the BBC TV series Longitude. Fantastic show.

Dogs are our link to paradise. They don’t know evil or jealousy or discontent. To sit with a dog on a hillside on a glorious afternoon is to be back in Eden, where doing nothing was not boring—it was peace. — Milan Kundera


The gift which I am sending you is called a dog, and is in fact the most precious and valuable possession of mankind

Michael Gambon was a great interviewee on Top Gear.  Here are the two interview clips on YouTube in the order of his appearances.  He is quite funny in the second clip.

My first real exposure to him in a movie was when he played the bad guy on "Open Range", Denton Baxter.

If there really was intelligent life on other planets, we'd be sending them foreign aid.

Conservatives see George Orwell's "1984" as a cautionary tale.  Progressives view it as a "how to" manual.

My wife often says to me, "You are evil and must be destroyed." She may be right.

Liberals believe one should never let reason, logic and facts get in the way of a good emotional argument.

As the NYT is a "restricted" site, here is what IMDB has about this.  He was 3 weeks  (10/19) from his next birthday.  The bio said "complications from pneumonia".
