Different gravy this man......a superb actor and raconteur. As a nation we are justifiably very proud of him, a quintessentially British talent of the very first order.

Managed to get you to almost want him to succeed in The Day of The Jackel, and truly horrendous as Caligula in I Clavdivs.0

Set the standard for his career as Max in Midnight Express and hit it every time thereafter.2

Having lost a dear family member to pancreatic cancer 18 months ago, can say it's a dreadful disease but he carried on working. A brave as well as talented man. R.I.P. John2

Whenever he was in anything it was elevated.
So many good pieces of work on all platforms, I Cladius, Alan Clarke's diaries, Quentin Crisp, it goes on and on.
Will be missed.

Echo all the above comments. Particularly enjoyed seeing him on 'Who Do You Think You Are? RIP0

2017 carries on where 2016 left off.
From Alien to Doctor Who, I thought he was magnificent in every role I saw him in.
Wherever actors go when they finally exeunt stage left, they could put on quite a show with the talent we've lost these past twelve months.0 -
Very sad to hear that, awful disease pancreatic cancer. Great actor0

Fantastic actor, it seems to me that 2017 is the part 2 to 2016 already!! RIP Sir and thank you.0
