He will always be Bloody Bill Haydon for me.

There's another marvellous actor gone. I saw him as Coriolanus on my first-ever visit to RSC many years ago.

Where shall we find another?

You might very well say that...

I know!

DUDE. NO. WAY.

(Also this week: Anna Nicole Smith, and Wolfgang Iser. Weird conjunction.)

Bugger. I always liked him....

[toft-froggy.livejournal.com]

Oh, that's sad. He was fantastic.

[katlinel.livejournal.com]

That is sad news.

How does one possibly comment on that? :-(

Bum. I enjoyed every role I saw him play.

I always think of him in his various roles in Private Schultz. But especially Major Neuheim.

I still remember from a series on English poetry many years ago... not only the sheer joy of listening to him read great poetry, but the dramatisation of the Pardoner's Tale with him totally, totally memorable as Death...
