The audience remembers him from "Indiana Jones" and "Harry Potter":

British actor Michael Byrne, known for his roles in films such as 'Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade' and 'Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1,' has passed away at the age of 82. The news was reported by People, stating that Byrne died on June 20. The cause of death has not yet been disclosed. Throughout his impressive career spanning over six decades, Byrne appeared in numerous notable films and television series, including Bond movies and award-winning productions like 'Braveheart.'
