So sad, I loved him in so many movies.  RIP, Robbie

He once commented that he'd someday be gone but that Hagrid would remain for long after.  He was absolutely correct.  I can understand why he was the first actor to land a role in HP.  JK Rowling picked him, herself.  His skills and his voice will be missed.  RIP Robbie.

The first role I had ever seen him in was a movie called Krull, one of my favorite cheesy scifi/ fantasy movies from the 80’s. It also featured a small time actor that I’m sure not very many people have heard of. His name is Liam Neeson.
