Rubeus Hagrid
Years after the films, Janet Hirshenson revealed in an interview that Williams had expressed interest in portraying Rubeus Hagrid in the "Harry Potter" film series, but was rejected by director Chris Columbus due to the "British-only edict". In 2006, he starred in five movies, including "Man of the Year" and "The Night Listener", the latter being a thriller about a radio show host who realizes that a child with whom he has developed a friendship may or may not exist. After his death in 2014, four films starring Williams were released: "", "A Merry Friggin' Christmas", "Boulevard", and "Absolutely Anything".
