Great actor, I’ll certainly miss his presence.

I’ll always love the House of Cards trilogy and his fascinatingly evil Francis Urquhart. One of the best political dramas ever.

Death comes for Death.

RIP

You may say that, I cannot possibly comment”.

You might very well think that. I couldn’t possibly comment.

:smack:

One annoying note. On CNN’s homepage their link just refers to him as the “actor in Grey Poupon ad”. Of course the actual article goes into more detail.

Helen Mirren dedicated her Best Actress Bafta to him at the awards ceremony this evening, and got a little choked.

My wife and I quite enjoyed his work as Dr. Bell in the Mystery presentations of “Murder Rooms,” and the earlier one whose title I forget with a different actor as Doyle.
