RIP.

Older brother of my English teacher at Secondary school - played a great character in The Day of the Jackal which is an amazing film.

Should that be elder brother? Oh dear, the irony...

Tragic news, good actor.

RIP.

Sad yes, but is it really tragic when an 80 year old man passes away?

 

[Sirnormangall]

Sad to hear of his passing - a very versatile actor in support roles mainly and very much enjoyed his work.

Sad yes, but is it really tragic when an 80 year old man passes away?

No. But a chance to spend a moment to say, hmmmm....a good life, and bon voyage.

 

[Cowfold Seagull]

Never really the star, but a superb support actor, if there is such a phrase. one of those faces that everyone will recognise, even if they aren't aware of his name.

R.I.P.

His brother was my teacher I was two years behind my brother Driver 8. Dave Pickup was also in a rock band.

Heather and Dave were husband and wife when I was at the Forest College of Knowledge.
