This is the first book devoted to the actor who has created a judicious blend of high-definition performances on the British stage and a wide range of award-winning television and film roles. ÊNew York TimesÊ writer Mel Gussow interviewed Gambon on many occasions and those conversations comprise the majority of this book. Gussow also draws insights from some of the people who have worked with Gambon. Gambon was named the successor to the late Richard Harris as Professor Dumbledore in the Harry Potter films making his debut in 2004's ÊHarry Potter and the Prisoner of AzkabanÊ and he will be featured more prominently in the June 2005 film ÊHarry Potter and the Goblet of FireÊ. He can also be seen in Mike Nichols' Emmy Award-winning HBO film of Tony Kushner's ÊAngels in AmericaÊ and a growing number of films including the recent ÊBeing JuliaÊ with Annette Bening ÊSky Captain and the World of TomorrowÊ and Wes Anderson's ÊThe Life Aquatic with Steve ZissouÊ with Bill Murray.
