Actor Paul Ritter passed away at 54 suffering from a brain tumor. His wife Polly and sons Frank and Noah by his side.
Ritter appeared in the “Harry Potter” franchise . The actor played the ill-fated nuclear engineer Anatoly Dyatlov in the HBO drama “Chernobyl”.
Ritter was nominated for a Tony Award in 2009 for his performance in Alan Ayckbourn’s farce “The Norman Conquests” on Broadway.
The agency he worked with made this statement- “Paul was an exceptionally talented actor playing an enormous variety of roles on stage and screen with extraordinary skill. He was fiercely intelligent, kind and very funny. We will miss him greatly.”
Knocked it out of the PARK in Chernobyl. Watching it I consciously thought, “Oh, we have a new movie star.” Between that & how funny he was in Friday Night Dinner… just unreal talent. Rest in peace, Paul Ritter. pic.twitter.com/nw8HnRZxRd
