    Believe he was a long time sufferer from alzheimers/dementia .. Dr Zhivago, another major role for him .. David Lean loved his acting .. and he was a renowned contract bridge player before his health deteriorated .. R I P .. another well known face from my youth passes on

    To be fair apart from the obvious he was in some real stinkers.

    Other films he was in you might have seen are.

    This is a bit weird as I was only talking about him the day before and was convinced he was already dead. I feel as if it was my fault now!

    Great actor. Did his best work by a long way with Director, David Lean.

    Doctor Zhivago & Lawrence of Arabia are classic films.

    RIP

    Omar appearing very slowly from the dessert in Lawrence of Arabia has to be one of the best pieces of cinematography of all time.

    Once gave Ian Dury a black eye, although reports suggest he asked for it. Two legends in their different ways.

    RIP sirs.

    He once punched Ian Dury in the head and gave him a (much cherished) black eye.
