Bernard Hill
Theoden, Yosser, Captain of the Titanic

He was indeed a very good actor, a sad loss.

I always loved the scene when the Rihorrim come over the ridge at dawn to confront Sauron's horde attacking Minas Tiras. You go to a close up of Theoden who is probably thinking "well, there's quite a few of them".

"Spears shall be shaken and shields will be shattered!"   

[Steve J]

Always remember him for his brilliant portrait of Yosser in BFTBS.

Rob Burrow - Rugby League star and an absolute legend.
R.I.P.

😔

[fred.]

Very sad - so young - and such a rapid decline in his health. 

[Steve J]

Too young and to such a dreadful disease .

[John Cook]

Very sad - so young - and such a rapid decline in his health.

Yes indeed.  Tragic.  Doddie Weir the Scottish Rugby Union international also died from MND, as did my mother, who never played rugby but was also a star.  MND is a bloody awful disease.

Many, many, many roles over the years, from the '60's well into the 2000's.

But for me he'll always be Oddball.
