Yesterday Brendan Gleeson won an Emmy for Outstanding Lead Actor in a Miniseries or TV Movie category for his turn as former UK Prime Minister Winston Churchilll in Into the Storm..  At a press conference after he won he mentioned he was finished filming Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows.

Brendan Gleeson, who collected an Emmy in his first attempt for his portrayal of Winston Churchill in HBO’s miniseries “Into the Storm,” said he learned a lot about him during production. “He was one of those great people; you could make 10,000 movies — they’ve probably made 10,000 about him — and still find more to mine. He was a Nobel Prize-winning author, among other things, but it was the liveliness of his mind (that most impressed me) considering he drank a lot.” Gleeson noted he just wrapped filming “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1” and bid farewell to his Mad-Eye Moody. “I waved goodbye to him a week and a half ago. It was great fun, playing Mad-Eye was a hoot.”
