| The Late Richard Griffiths (( July 31st 1947- March 28 2013)) |
Today we learned that we lost the wonderful Richard Griffiths due to complications following heart surgery yesterday, Thursday March 28th 2013. He was 65. He is properly best known for as Uncle Vernon Dursley from the
Harry Potter movies, and Uncle Monty from the movie
Withnail & I. He also played Jeltz in the
Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy. Also with some sad serendipity I was watching
Sleepy Hollow last night in which he played Magistrate Philipse. It may seem silly but when ever I hear of a death of an actor I like, I feel like I had lost a dear friend. R.I.P Mr. Richard Griffiths, you will never be forgotten. My heart goes out to his Family, friends and fans though these tough times.
