I saw his Lear at Chichester a few years back, a beautiful performance, a Lear who genuinely was approaching four score years. I was too young to have seen his Hamlet, a performance that was still being talked about years later. But he is in Peter Hall's Dream as Lysander (a role that I've always seen as rather underwhelming) and holds his own in a very strong cast.

I wish he hadn't disappeared from the stage for so long: I'd love to have seen his Richard III or Iago, but it was not to be

David Warner playing Richard III feels so right it seems ridiculous it never happened.

Through checking DW on Wikipedia I now know why [MENTION=23795]Hugo Rune[/MENTION] is so called. Who’d have thunk it?

Brilliant in Cross of Iron. He portrayed 'sardonic' brilliant in almost every film he was in!

 

[TugWilson]

Great shame R.I.P.

That is one of my favourite films. When I’m on my indoor rower I always put it on. An absolute belter of a film, it has to be, how else could you be on the side of a group of German soldiers in WW2?

 

[Questions]

He was in Straw Dogs as well but his part was uncredited for some odd reason…. I know Sam Peckinpah covered him financially…..’Need to read up on details

 

[Bombardier]

Yup, another great film. RIP David Warner and welcome to the great theatre beyond the grave.

 

[Acker79]

Most memorable roles for me were in Scream 2 and The Man with Two Brains.

 

[Peacehaven Wild Kids]

I really enjoyed Mad Dogs from Sky One, A great cast and he played the part of a Drug Lord in series 2

 

[Super Steve Earle]

Star Trek actor for me. Very sad.

Star Trek actor for me. Very sad.

His scenes with Sir Patrick in Chain of Command were stunning - superb performances from both, unsurprisingly.

He was brilliant as Gorkon too.

 

[el punal]

His role as the photographer in the Omen was captivating. All those pics with the black line through them predicting that person’s death.

He had such a great death scene in The Omen. One of the best.
