LOS ANGELES - Brendan Gleeson doesn't shirk from acting challenges, veering from the likes of Mad-Eye Moody in the Harry Potter films to an enthusiastic tourist-hit man in "In Bruges." But he hesitated before taking on Winston Churchill in HBO's "Into the Storm." The film debuts Sunday as the sequel to 2002's Emmy-winning "The Gathering Storm," in which Albert Finney played the British leader.
