Richard Briers, British actor from _The Good Life_ (aka _Good Neighbors_) and _Ever Decreasing Circles_ [has died](http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-21498077). Back when I participated in this game I’m pretty sure I had him on my list each time. ---

I liked him quite a bit. Although I watched the PBS reruns of The Good Life more to look at Felicity Kendall. One of my first TV crushes. ---

No there isn’t. It wouldn’t be an exclusive award anyway!😃 And I’ll point out that my list of unique picks, all of which are at least ninety five years old, have not done me any favors yet. In fact one, Douglas Slocombe, reached his one hundredth birthday a couple weeks back and so now would only count for uniqueness. I’m sure we’ll hear about him, when/if I drop him, he was a brilliant cinematographer, who worked the first three Indy Jones movies. ---
