Written By: Philip Eno on 03/29/13 at 5:41 am

Actor Richard Griffiths, who starred in the Harry Potter movies and Withnail and I, has died at the age of 65 after complications following heart surgery.

Griffiths enjoyed a long career of success on film and on TV, but also on the stage where he was a Tony-winning character actor.

He was best known for playing Vernon Dursley in the Harry Potter films and Uncle Monty in Withnail and I.

TV roles included playing a cookery-loving detective in Pie in the Sky.

He was appointed an OBE in the 2008 New Year Honours.

It was Richard Griffiths who once during a performance of The History Boys, Griffiths became so annoyed at a man in the audience whose mobile phone rang repeatedly through the play that Griffiths stopped acting after the sixth time and ordered the man out of the theatre. More recently, Griffiths asked a member of the audience to leave a performance of Heroes after her phone rang three times. This interruption of a performance due to audience distraction has happened no fewer than three times in his career.

R.I.P. Richard
