Bill Nighy – Rufus Scrimgeour

Bill Nighy, the English actor famed for his versatile roles and distinct voice, portrayed the stern Minister of Magic, Rufus Scrimgeour, in the Harry Potter series. While his character met a grim fate at the hands of Voldemort, Bill’s real-life persona is approachable and marked by dry wit and a love for music.

Some of his highlights include “The Good Liar” and “Living,” alongside his appearances in “Love Actually” and “Underworld.” A telling instance of Bill’s transformation lies in his appearance without his Scrimgeour costume: shedding the wig and makeup reveals shorter hair and a more relaxed demeanor. Bill’s charm and adaptability ensure his continued success in the industry.
