^ Very sad. What a legend! I'll best remember him for:
- Ash in Alien
- The coach in Chariots of fire
- Napoleon in Time Bandits
- Frodo in the definitive (IMO) Lord of the Rings Radio drama.
- The perfect old Bilbo in the movies
- Sam's hapless boss in Brazil
- The welsh soldier Fluellen in Branagh's definitive Henry V
- Polonius in Mel Gibson's Hamlet.
- The stern Doctor in The Madness of King George (maybe his best role)
- The priest in The 5th Element
- Jack the Ripper in From Hell (the film around him sucked but he was damned creepy)
- The angry little chef in Ratatouille
- The father in the hit 90s Borrowers TV show (loved him in that)
^ A fraction of his long career.
