[SIMMO SAYS]

An understated role in Gladiator.
I hope I get to 81 after all the beer/wine drunk in my life

He was good in Troy. I never did like the Laurence of Arabia film though.

Quite understated, what with not being in it.


He was in King Ralph and Supergirl though! Those are the films I think of him for.

Also really under rated performance in Casanova with david tennant.

My favourite year was O'Toole playing O'Toole. A great film. RIP.

I watched him one morning recently in 1982's My Favourite Year, as the drinking-problemed star and he was charming and cheekily believable. I only watched it because i'd seen it had Perfect Strangers' Mark Linn-Baker within and i had probably seen him in no films at all, but when watching you could see who the star of the show was. O'Toole was class on his day.

You had a year as Peter O'Toole?

 

[Red Side Of Sussex]

I think his best film was Murphys War.
A top actor at the top of his game in that movie.

You had a year as Peter O'Toole?

Probably have in all fairness !

I think you maybe thinking of the other Irish actor Richard Harris who died in 2002. They are similar looking.

Jeffrey Bernard is unwell, superb performances couldn't have been cast better
