Richard Griffiths, OBE (31 July 1947 – 28 March 2013) was an English actor of stage, film and television. He received the Laurence Olivier Award for Best Actor, the Drama Desk Award for Outstanding Actor in a Play, the Outer Critics Circle Award for Best Featured Actor and a Tony Award for Best Performance by a Leading Actor in a Play, all for his role in the play The History Boys.
He is also known for his portrayal of Vernon Dursley in the Harry Potter films, Uncle Monty in Withnail and I, Henry Crabbe in Pie in the Sky, and King George II in Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides. He also appeared as a British journalist in Richard Attenborough's Oscar-winning 1982 film Gandhi.
Griffiths was born in Thornaby-on-Tees, North Riding of Yorkshire, England, the son of Jane (née Denmark) and Thomas Griffiths. His father was a steelworker who also fought in pubs for money, while his mother's occupation was described as "bagger". He and his brother John were raised in the Roman Catholic faith. His parents were both deaf, and he learned sign language at an early age in order to communicate with them. During his childhood he attempted to run away from home many times. He dropped out of Our Lady & St Bede School in Stockton-On-Tees at age 15 and worked as a porter for Littlewoods for a while, but his boss eventually convinced him to go back to school. He decided to attend a drama class at Stockton & Billingham College. He continued his education in drama at Manchester Polytechnic School of Drama (present-day Manchester School of Theatre).

First, eminent critic John Simon celebrates his 88th birthday on the show. He looks back on his distinguished career, which began in 1949 when he wrote a review for the out-of-town tryout of Tennessee Williams' "A Street Car Named Desire" in The Harvard Advocate and was fired for making it "too positive...because no play can be that good." Next we replay a 2006 conversation with the late Richard Griffiths (known internationally as "Uncle Vernon in The Harry Potter films), who was then on Broadway, giving his Tony-winning performance in "The History Boys."

'The Cleopatras' was a far cry from the costume dramas that audiences at that time were used to. Sets appeared to float and they did not create a 'real' horizon beyond or a 'convincing' sky above. Authenticity was sought however. Actors playing nobles had their heads shaved, including some of the female characters. Also, true to the custom of the time, the Egyptian palace's retinue of handmaidens were bare-chested. People at the court were painted different colours according to status, and many of them had d...
