'Harry Potter' actor Michael Byrne dies at 82
Actor Michael Byrne, who starred in "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part I", has died aged 82.
The information was released by TMZ this Tuesday (30) and, according to the website, the actor passed away on June 20.
To date, however, the cause of death has not been disclosed. The actor stood out for acting in productions such as "Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade" (1989), and "Braveheart" (1995).
Younger generations may remember Michael Byrne for his participation in the "Harry Potter" franchise. In "Deathly Hallows: Part I", he played Gellert Grindelwald, a wizard defeated by Dumbledore and imprisoned in Azkaban. In the plot, Lord Voldemort approaches the character in an attempt to seek the "Elder Wand".
In addition to his career in cinema, Byrne also scored some television series, such as "Smiley's People" (1982) and "Coronation Street" (2008 - 2010), where he gave life to the character Ted Page.
