From hell-raising Irish icon of British cinema to the wisest wizard at Hogwarts, this two-time Oscar nominee has lived enough lives for several men—and the hard-drinking Dublin days weren't exactly kind to the constitution. At 72, he's traded pub brawls for magical robes, introducing a new generation to his gravitas as Dumbledore, though longtime fans remember when he was belting out "MacArthur Park" and collecting a Grammy alongside his Cannes trophy. Whether he's got more sequels in him remains to be seen, but one thing's certain: Harris has never done anything quietly.
