Oh FFS. What a totally brilliant back catalogue the man has. From Shakespeare to Alien, Elephant Man to Midnight Express, Harry Potter to 1984. Hard drinking, serial & parallel womanising. What a career, what a life, what a great actor. RIP

Terrible news, the guy was a legendary actor. He was suffering from pancreatic cancer but his death is going to be tough, he is a true icon.

 

[marlowe]

He did some great tv work too. I still vividly remember when he played Quentin Crisp in The Naked Civil Servant. And he was great as Caligula in I Claudius.

 

[Miami Seagull]

So sad, such an outstanding actor with a huge library of films. His performance in The Field tops it for me...

 

[Hugo Rune]

Loved The Storyteller. RIP

 

[Leekbrookgull]

Christie done it. Sad news.

Sad news to lose such a wonderful actor.

 

[Hyperion]

Rest in Peace John. An absolute giant of acting talent, my god we have lost some seriously gifted people in the last year.

 

[Frutos]

Sad news.

RIP

R.I.P

A down to earth bloke who came into the Elephants Head in Camden one Saturday night back in the late 90s while the pub was full of rockabillies with music blasting out, he hung around for several drinks chatting and laughing.

 

[The Merry Prankster]

Played. Cricket with him in the late 70's for the Gentlemen of Hampstead CC, which was, in reality, the Flask pub which he lived two doors down from. A reasonable cricketer and an excellent drinker.

Brilliant in I CLAVDIVS

 

[Aveacarlin']

Gutted by this news. A real national treasure. Love him as Old Man Peanut in 44" Chest. RIP .

My heart has joined the thousand, for my friend stopped running today.

 

[Biscuit]

An acting Goliath, superb in everything he touched. A brilliant War Doctor in Doctor Who. RIP

 

[ManOfSussex]

Really sad. I only watched '1984' for the first time last week as well.
