  1. Loved him. Got his autograph when he had lunch in the Willeymore Lock in 1996. Well, Michelle did and gave it to me. Anyway, legend.

  2. I hate to be a pedant (that's a lie) but it's the Willeymoor Lock. Good old Michelle.

  3. A fine actor indeed, who having started in the business later than most, still managed to make his mark in a big way. He will be great missed, he always managed to bring gravitas to any movie he appeared in. I will always remember him in particular for the role of Giuseppe Conlon in In the Name of the Father and more recently he was superb as convict Hooch in The tv series Criminal Justice. RIP.
