  1. Oh, I loved him in so many different show and movies.

  2. Gotta love how someone so talented and steeped in theatrical history is just glossed over like a speed bump in time… thank you mass media! It would've been VERY beneficial to at least give him twice the time they actually spent . But it just goes to show how the prophetic movie Idiocracy is becoming more real every day!! 🤪

  3. He will live on through his character dumbledore. Legendary character. Generations from now, kids will be watching his movies and reliving through his characters. Thank you Michael.
