Where are all my heroes going?

Sad news, thought he was marvellous in the Long Good Friday, Zulu Dawn as well.

Read that he was offered elocution lessons which he turned down on the basis it was difficult enough playing someone he is not without speaking in a way he is not.

Excellent actor.
Paul

That apart Mrs Lincoln, did you enjoy the play

The end credits on "Long Good Friday" I thought were amazing in the way he could express so much without saying a word.

A great loss to the acting profession. Always enjoyed anything he did really. RIP. He was a local lad to me when I was a kid (not that I knew him), I knew and still know lot's of people that speak with that oh so familiar North London accent.

Apparently he was to play Al Capone in The Untouchables and had been promised the role until they decided to get Robert De Niro instead, so they sent him £20,000 in compensation to which he replied any time you dont want me to be in your films I'm your man

Great Actor and will be missed, RIP

Planning is an unnatural process, much better to just get on with things, that way failure comes as a complete surprise instead of being preceeded by a period of worry and doubt
