He played the main character in the big screen adaptation of "1984". Sometimes life is funny like that. RIP

Think a shot of Hellboy mourning Prof. Broom's death would be all too fitting right now.

Look people, I like Dr. Who as well. But if this one-off episode is what most of you remember him for, that's sad.

He played a brilliant Caligula in I, Claudius, too.

Finally - someone mentioned Caligula - an astonishing, if not thoroughly disturbing performance!

I'm still trying to figure out what I've seen him in without searching for what he's featured in. Honestly I've never heard of his name.

hellboy, 1984, alien (the chestbuster guy), olivander from harry potter... the list goes on

He was a steadily working actor for over five decades. My guess is you've seen him more than once.

He also played Winston Smith in the original 1984 movie. I don't think his role in V for Vendetta was a coincidence.

Totally agree. He had to do so much with his voice and the way he carried himself. It was a fucking masterclass.
