Antilly was raised by trainers Travis and Ashley Foster, who appeared as a henchman in Sir Christopher Nolan’s Batman: The Dark Knight.
She visited them on set at 10 weeks old and later went on to be in films including the Michael Fassbender-starring Trespass Against Us.
Clooney went on to cast Antilly in the 2023 film he directed, The Boys In The Boat, and the dog also appeared in the BBC’s The Capture, ITV’s Doc Martin as well as Britain’s Got More Talent and Channel 4’s 8 Out Of 10 Cats Does Countdown.
Her final stunt on camera was released in July 2024 in the Midsomer Murders’ episode The Debt Of Lies, where she played a retired police dog who detains the murderer before retiring.
Antilly retired from film and TV after that.
A statement said: “Vislor Antilly, known to most people worldwide as Brandy, Ricky Gervais’ loyal sidekick in the Netflix smash hit After Life, has passed away peacefully at her home in Oxfordshire at the age of 13.”
