    Some actors are difficult to picture when their name is mentioned. Joss Ackland wasn't one of them.

    RIP

    Will always remember him for just a small part in the film The Hunt for Red October where he plays the Russian Ambassador. His voice is so distinctive. 

    RIP.

    Will always be remembered for…………

    ’Diplomatic immunity!’

    Then being shot by Danny Glover whilst saying, ‘it’s just been revoked’.

    RIP.

    Great actor whose career never got bogged down in one type of role, an awesome bad guy in 90s action films but an incredible comic actor as well.

    RIP

    He was very versatile.

    Interestingly he played Péron in the original London version of Evita with David Essex and Elaine Paige.

    I'm sure there's many on here that (with many RIP threads) are not familiar with the name, but recognise the face, so can I suggest in future that if you're starting a RIP thread, post a picture?
