Kim Barry, his agent at Jaffrey Management, also confirmed the news, expressing deep sorrow:

“I lost not only a client, Simon Fisher-Becker, but a close personal friend of 15 years. He helped me out enormously and was always kind, gracious, and interested in everyone.”

A Career in Film and Television

Fisher-Becker’s acting career began in the 1990s with appearances in British television series such as Hale and Pace and One Foot in the Grave. However, he gained widespread recognition for his role in Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone, where he portrayed the ghost known as the Fat Friar, who haunts the halls of Hogwarts.

His work extended to the iconic sci-fi series Doctor Who, in which he played the recurring character Dorium Maldovar from 2010 to 2011. He later reprised his involvement in the Doctor Who universe as a voice actor in the 2014 Doctor Who Online Adventures series, lending his voice to Gen. Nylan.

A Fan-Favorite at Conventions

Beyond his on-screen work, Fisher-Becker was a regular guest on the convention circuit, meeting and interacting with fans of the franchises he was part of. His enthusiasm and generosity made him a favorite among fans and colleagues alike.

Later Work and Voice Acting

From 2013 to 2018, Fisher-Becker starred in three seasons of the UK-based sci-fi drama Waterside. He continued his career into the 2020s, lending his voice to several productions, including the Sherlock Holmes mini-series, where he voiced Arthur Morstan.

His most recent work included the 2022 podcast Abnormal Stories and his final credited performance in 2024 as a voice actor in Jenny – The Doctor’s Daughter.

Fond Reflections on His Career

In a 2023 interview with BTG Interviews, Fisher-Becker spoke warmly about his experiences working in the industry:

“Most of the actors I’ve gotten to work with, especially the bigger names, have been utterly delightful and very kind. I wouldn’t be where I am today without the kindness of those people.”

His passing marks the loss of a talented and cherished actor whose contributions to film, television, and the sci-fi community will not be forgotten.
