Selma, The Grand Budapest Hotel, Belle, Mission Impossible Ghost Protocol, Rocknrolla, Exotic Marigold Hotel, The Exorcism of Emily Rose, Valkyrie, Stage Beauty, Girl with a Pearl Earring, In the Bedroom, Patriot, Shakespeare in Love, Rush Hour, Oscar and Lucinda, Sense and Sensibility, In the Name of the Father, and so many other notable films he has played a part in. An incredible filmography to leave behind.

 

[Westdene Seagull]

Brilliant in Full Monty - hoped he gnomed it. RIP

His name didn't register but when I looked him up, I remembered him from the Full Monty. Brilliant in that but what a record of parts to have played.
R.I.P.

 

[Lenny Rider]

Superb in Rockenrolla, the hugely underrated and in fact the best Guy Ritchie film ever.

RIP

 

[Silverhatch]

Sublime in Michael Clayton. Watching it (again) tonight in his memory.

 

[Motogull]

Sad news. Great CV mnd.

 

[The Grockle]

Very sad, starred in some great films and I feel a little underrated as an actor. One of the few characters I warmed to in the full monty and I really liked him in this beautiful fantastic.

 

[Super Steve Earle]

Sad. A true star who left a decent legacy.

 

[Javeaseagull]

I suppose he will be best remembered for the Full Monty but I think my favourite was the role in the Real Marigold Hotel. He was pursued by an obnoxious wife of another guest determined to seduce him. IIRC he gently let her down by revealing he was gay. I laughed my bollocks off.

 

[Beach Hut]

RIP, sad news as a really good actor
