 Re: Richard Griffiths RIP
Pie in the Sky. Man, I forgot about that show, but I remembered that he played a big fat chef before. He was never an actor that I cared much for, but he always seemed pleasant.

 Re: Richard Griffiths RIP
He was a huge jerk when my friend, her mother and I met him. He almost made my friend cry.  But she was younger, probably 15 or so. Her mother asked why he insisted on being such an asshole. We were mortified. But RIP anyway.

 Re: Richard Griffiths RIP
RIP, he will probably be mostly be remembered as Harry Potter's mean uncle, but he had a great career.

Maybe it was during the time of Harry Potter and he wanted to stay in character  I saw him after a performance of Equus in NYC, which he starred in with Radcliffe. He was rude to just about everyone. Maybe he was just having an off night, but it was uncalled for.

 Re: Richard Griffiths RIP
So he was a grumpy asshole.
