British actor Robert Hardy, best known for his co-starring role in All Creatures Great And Small<\/em> and as a supporting actor in the Harry Potter<\/em> franchise, has passed away.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Robert Hardy began his acting career primarily as a stage performer, appearing in multiple Shakespeare productions throughout London’s West End. A long-running role in television series The Troubleshooters<\/em> paved the way for bigger film roles, and Mr Hardy appeared in Cold War thriller The Spy Who Came In From The Cold <\/em>(with good friend Richard Burton), Berserk<\/em>, and How I Won The War<\/em> during the 1960’s. Hardy essayed British political icon Winston Churchill multiple times, including 1988’s television mini-series War & Remembrance<\/em>, in an episode of Agatha Christie’s Marple<\/em>, and more recently in Churchill: 100 Days That Saved Britain<\/em>, while to younger audiences Hardy is better known as curmudgeonly Cornelius Fudge in the Harry Potter<\/em> saga, playing the part in four of the seven films.<\/p>\n His most famous television role was in both series of veterinarian drama\u00a0All Creatures Great And Small<\/em>, alongside Doctor Who<\/em> actor Peter Davidson, which ran in two series between 1978 and 1990.<\/p>\n Robert Hardy passed away on August 3rd, aged 91.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" British actor Robert Hardy, best known for his
