Paid Members I Bent My Wookie Posted September 25, 2023 Paid Members Posted September 25, 2023 Ducky has been one of my favourite characters in TV as long as I've been watching it and honestly I'm gutted by this. Just seemed a genuinely lovely human.
Paid Members Surf Digby Posted September 25, 2023 Paid Members Posted September 25, 2023 Big fan of The Man From U.N.C.L.E. and The Invisible Man when I was young. I was always convinced Gerry Anderson based Captain Blue on him. 90 though? Can't grumble.
Tim Healys Chutney Spoon Posted September 25, 2023 Posted September 25, 2023 Colditz and Great Escape for me. Never really got into NCIS or Man from UNCLE
Paid Members Jazzy G Posted September 26, 2023 Paid Members Posted September 26, 2023 His album is pretty good as well. He did the song that got sampled for Next Episode by Dr Dre and Snoop Dogg. I remember watching him in The Invisible Man series with my mum and stepdad as a kid. 90 is a decent age, and he had a heck of a career.
Paid Members gmoney Posted September 26, 2023 Paid Members Posted September 26, 2023 Was married to Charles Bronson's eventual wife, Jill Ireland for a while as well.
Loki Posted September 26, 2023 Posted September 26, 2023 He was one of those actors I thought had died years ago until he popped up in NCIS. A little like Michael York turning up in Austin Powers, although he was only my age at that point! To have a complete second career renaissance at the age of 70 is very cool.
Tim Healys Chutney Spoon Posted September 28, 2023 Posted September 28, 2023 2nd great actor in a week. Sir Michael Gambon https://news.sky.com/story/harry-potter-and-gosford-park-actor-sir-michael-gambon-has-died-12971592
Members SuperBacon Posted September 28, 2023 Members Posted September 28, 2023 Well, quite. What a career he had.
Paid Members Lion_of_the_Midlands Posted September 28, 2023 Paid Members Posted September 28, 2023 A wonderful actor. In less enlightened times (The late 80s) I saw him play Othello and he was brilliant. A tremendous stage presence and the confidence and power to hold the audience in the palm of his hand. As to Rashers post above. That's two Dumbledores down. Jude Law better watch his step.
cobra_gordo Posted September 28, 2023 Posted September 28, 2023 What a voice too. Loved him playing a prick in Layer Cake.

Paid Members Dead Mike Posted September 28, 2023 Paid Members Posted September 28, 2023 Sat on the table next to his at a restaurant in Chinatown once. RIP
