Just found out he died!!!


I must have been living under a rock during the month of January!! I had no idea that he had passed away!!! Today is his birthday and when i noticed the death date i spit my water out across my computer screen!!

I LOVED him in The Usual Suspects and especially enjoyed him as Friar Lawrence in William Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet.

A true class act...

I was just looking him up whilst watching 'Dark Water' (a 2005 film he was in) and was shocked to hear he'd passed away. He was a very interesting actor; I first saw him 'In the Name of the Father' and he was great.

I had no internet during January. I was crushed. Amazing actor.
