John Cleese As Nearly Headless Nick

Although John Cleese’s character “Nearly Headless Nick” was largely overlooked in the Harry Potter films, those who did notice his amusing portrayal of the Gryffindor ghost found it entertaining. When he tried but failed to join the Headless Hunt, it was especially amusing. John Cleese co-founded the surreal comedy troupe Monty Python in real life. He appeared in Monty Python’s Flying Circus, three Monty Python films, and the hugely popular Fawlty Towers series.
