20 Harry Potter Actors Who Are No Longer With Us

17. Derek Deadman - Tom The Barman

For a lot of film fans, Derek Deadman will be best known for his roles in Time Bandits and Robin Hood: Prince Of Thieves, but his 47-year career also included appearances in the likes of Doctor Who, Brazil and Never Say Never Again. His face was a recognisable staple of British television, even as his screen-time was relatively limited.

Deadman was the first actor to play Tom the Barman before Jim Tavare took over the role for The Prisoner Of Azkaban, though he didn't quite match the books' description of the character as "quite bald" and resembling a toothless walnut. If they cast him for a resemblance to that description specifically, that's awfully harsh.

Deadman died at the age of 74 in Frespech, France on 22nd November 2014.
