Has died Aged 88 after a battle against Parkinsons Disease

Will always fondly remember him from my childhood, loved watching the Borrowers on a Sunday afternoon

Was of course also very good in Lord of the Rings / The Hobbit amongst other films!!

Indeed he was. I, too, enjoyed The Borrowers. He played the android, Ash, in Alien.

RIP

In Ash's last words, "You have my condolences..." (chilling if you know the movie).

Massive talent, great repertoire. May he RIP.

RIP. Great actor and such a distinctive voice.

Terrific actor. My first thought when I saw the thread was Napoleon, who he played in the 70s TV series Napoleon and Love. That's my first memory of him.

RIP Sir Ian.
