Harry Potter Actor, Paul Grant, Dies At 56
Paul Grant, the 56–year–old actor best known for his roles in the Harry Potter and Star Wars franchises, passed away on Sunday.
The Police discovered the actor collapsed outside Kings’ Cross station on Thursday afternoon in London and was rushed to the hospital.
His daughter Sophie shared in a statement to The Sun that her father was a “legend in so many ways“ and always brought laughter and smiles to the people around him. She added that he was also an avid Arsenal fan, and would do anything for anyone.
The family said they had made the difficult decision to turn off his life support machine following his collapse.
Grant had starred as an unnamed Ewok in the 1983 Star Wars film, alongside Mark Hamill and Harrison Ford.
