Michael Gambon – Albus Dumbledore

The venerable Michael Gambon gracefully took over the role of Albus Dumbledore after Richard Harris passed away. Like a phoenix rising from the ashes, he embarked on his magical journey as the wise wizard in the six “Harry Potter” films that came after the first one. But outside the Hogwarts robes, this Irish-English actor’s escapades are as spellbinding as a Patronus charm.

Michael has continued to showcase his acting prowess, portraying King Lear in the eponymous theatre production, demonstrating his command over complex roles. On-screen, he showed versatility in the TV series “Little Women” and the film “Judy,” where he displayed his acting magic alongside Renée Zellweger.
