DOCTOR Who and Harry Potter star Simon Fisher-Becker has died aged 63.
Tributes have poured in for the veteran actor – who also appeared in Oscar winning film Les Misérables – after he passed away on Saturday afternoon.
Agent Kim Barry, of Jaffrey Management, said in a statement: “Today I lost not only a client in Simon Fisher-Becker, but a close personal friend of 15 years standing.
“I shall never forget the phone call I made to him when he was offered the part of Dorium Moldovar in BBC’s Dr Who.
“Simon was also a writer, a raconteur and a great public speaker. He helped me out enormously and was kind, gracious and interested in everyone.”
Fisher-Becker’s husband added in a Facebook post: “Hello everyone. This is Tony, Simon’s husband .
“I have some very sad news. At 2:50 this afternoon Simon passed away.
“I’ll be keeping this account open for a while. I’m not sure at this point if I’ll be posting again. Thank you.”
The actor appeared alongside Matt Smith’s Doctor in the BBC’s revival series, playing blue-skinned intergalactic black marketeer Dorium Maldovar.
He was also the Fat Friar – Hufflepuff House’s resident ghost in Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone.
