A fabulous actor in a vast number of quality films. It was also a real privilege to see him 'up close' on the London fringe.

I really could hardly believe it when I heard tonight. A real loss to British theatre and cinema.

Very sad news. He was a great actor and when I was lucky enough to work with him he came across as a really nice guy as well

must have been the heart, poor blighter.

he had such a strained look about his face, i wonder if anyone would notice he was having a heart attack for the first few minutes. he's always looked so old, i thought he was nearly 80. sad to go early.

marvellous actor, you expected him to play all sorts of roles. at one point i thougth he was the bad guy in Last of The Mohicans.

He was diagnosed with cancer in the 1990's, testicular i think
Im surprised he lasted as long as he did, he had a strong will!

I work in film/tv as part of the on-set sound crew and I did a film with him a couple of years ago. A true gentlemen.

that truely terrible. no wonder he was so good at coughinh up his guts in Name of the Father.. he werent acting lol!

to think that he still had the strength to pump out a performance for 'The Town' while in chemo.... amazing. he seems to turn up in all sorts of movies.

a true legend.
