Roger Lloyd Pack, who portrayed Barty Crouch Sr. in “Harry Potter,” dies at 69
It is with a heavy heart that we report that Roger Lloyd Pack, who portrayed Barty Crouch, Sr. in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, has passed away today at the age of 69 from pancreatic cancer.
He was known to millions as the slow-witted roadsweeper Trigger on BBC’s Only Fools and Horses, but to Harry Potter fans around the world, he was one of us.
Some of his fellow Potter actors have already tweeted their sadness:
from Trigger in Only Fools and Horses and Owen in Vicar of Dibley – not to mention Barty Crouch Sr…. #RIP

Utterly sad to hear about the passing of Roger Lloyd-Pack. Had the pleasure of working with him last year. One of life's good guys
