He was 89. Among hundreds of roles, he is well remembered as Porthos in the “Three Musketeers” films of the 1970s (alongside Oliver Reed, Richard Chamberlain and Michael York), and opposite Susan Penhaligon in the taboo-challenging television series “Bouquet Of Barbed Wire.” He played Iago opposite Laurence Olivier in 1965’s “Othello” and was nominated for an Oscar. He was awarded a CBE award in 1984. His turns as Sancho Panza in “The Adventures of Don Quixote” and Voltaire in “Candide” won him BAFTA awards. MSTies will remember his starring role as bee enthusiast H.W. Manfred in the movie in episode 905- THE DEADLY BEES. The Independent is the first with something online. When we get a full obit, we will post a link here. Thanks to Timmy for the heads up. Sorry, getting to this slightly late this morning….
It’s wedding planning season and Ryan writes:
Well, no bachelor party would be complete without Rowsdower. For the preacher I think I’d like the Tolliver, the crazy goat man from “The Slime People.” The maid of honor should be one of the giant girls from Village of the Giants (maybe all of them!) and for best man, you gotta pick Moon from “The Beatniks.” Kinda unreliable, but what a toast he’d make! Your turn! |
