Just a little memory of Michael.” He also posted the screenshot, “Whilst shooting HP6 I worked on the AD department for the whole shoot (apart from the days I was acting). And for that reason I spent many hours with Michael during the shoot. He was always very funny and very welcoming to share any knowledge he had.”

Michael John Gambon, who was born on October 19, 1940, in Dublin, went to London with his family when he was six years old. At the time, his father Edward, an engineering worker in World War II, had decided to work on the reconstruction of the ravaged British city.
After quitting school, Gambon obtained a toolmaker apprenticeship with the large manufacturing company Vickers Armstrong, qualified as an engineering technician, and seemed destined to continue in his father’s career path.
However, after getting a taste of the stage at his neighborhood theater, he made the bold decision to send an ambitious letter and resume to Irish impresario Micheál Mac Liammóir, a decision that would fundamentally alter his life.
