rizlared: Sad loss, a brilliant British actor, with one of the best voices in films and TV.
RIP
Indeed, just heard this morning. One of the best character "bad guys" EVER, with a voice as recognizable as Morgan Freeman or John Wayne. Hopefully people will give him the applause he deserves at this years Oscar Obits!
KarloradoFL: Great Actor but unfortunately never got an Oscar nomination:
Maybe, just maybe...those suited stuck-ups in the Academy will award him a posthumous Oscar....he surely is deserving....damn...this year 69 seems to be the new 27!

Aww so sad. One of the finest actors in Britain. Isn't it a bit eerie that two very famous people, top of their field, died the same week, of the same disease at the same age. Coincidence I'm sure, but eerie though.
He was brilliant as De Valera in Michael Collins Great funny scene in Love Actually with Rowan Atkinson "it'll be ready in the flashest of flashes!" Felt sorry for him (his character) in Sense and Sensibility Played the villain well in Die Hard And of course Sirius Snape!
