Harry Potter is one example of the importance of casting. To me, Richard Harris
as Dumbledore is much better than Michael Gambon.
For old-time TV watchers: imho Dick York >>>>>Dick Sargent as Darrin Stevens.

Richard Harris fit that role like Patrick Stewart fits Professor X

I thought both Darrins and both Dumbledores were good.

And they would've loved to keep Richard Harris in that role had he not died

His age and frailty fit the role perfectly.

Really? Is Dumbledore supposed to be frail? Very old, but the books make me

Fun fact: Ian McKellan was asked to be Dumbledore but Richard Harris didn't like him.

Yeah, Richard Harris wasn't exactly PC when it came to his views on homosexuality. A lot of bad blood between

Totally agree. Dumbledore was never the same. The series could have been so much better.

I've not researched this closely, but we're all aware that Richard Harris died

I think Michael Gambon is a terrific actor, and a terrible Dumbledore.
