He starred in the
Harry Potter movies and Withnail and I.
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; a role I personally associate with him.
He was appointed an OBE in the 2008 New Year Honours.

he once stopped in the middle of a West End play and berated someone whose mobile had gone off for the 2nd time, asking him to leave ! Bravo !!
I salute him for that. If only more of us hadn't the fortitude to act in such a manner.
