Peter Pettigrew2

Spall as Peter Pettigrew

Spall's earlier roles included Quadrophenia (1979) and Hamlet (1996).

Spall was so determined to pocket a memento from his work on the Harry Potter films, he snatched a prosthetic ear from the film set. He says, "I lifted a prosthetic ear while filming Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. It's strictly frowned upon, but it was too good to pass by. It will live on a shelf at home. If they're truthful, most performers try to get a souvenir from every job they do."

Spall's recent roles include: The voice of Bayard the Bloodhound in Tim Burton's 2010 fantasy film Alice In Wonderland, Nathaniel in Enchanted; and the voice of Chief Bobnar in the 2018 film Early Man.
