A great man has passed.

Shame, but 93 is a brilliant innings for a man of his work rate. He will be missed!  :'(

A life well lived. Oh and he was the only member of the cast to have met JRR Tolkein.

He had a great run...and his CV is rather impressive. One of the all time greats.

If they haven't put a stake through his heart, he'll be back. (Let us hope.)

My first encounter at the pictures was The Devil Rides Out. Great loss.

Nah, a few drops of virgin's blood and he'll be up and about in no time.

Agreed. A great actor. I doubt we will we see his likes again.

I was just bats about him. Could really get his teeth into a part.
I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I needed to be.

Except when he was playing Fu Manchu
If I were creating Pendraken I wouldn't mess about with Romans and  Mongols  I would have started with Centurions , eight o'clock, Day One!
