Die Hard and Robin Hood showed he was the world's most likeable baddie. Wonderful performances.

Loved him in Galaxy Quest as well, seemed to be a real spoof of his reputation as a 'serious' actor...

RIP

Very sad to see, seems too young. Die Hard, Robin Hood a different role in Sense and Sensibility...featured in some fantastic films over the years, and was in Harry Potter as well. RIP.
 
More really sad news, Brilliant actor. I am a big Harry Potter fan and he was superb throughout the whole series, he was also excellent as the Sheriff of Nottingham in Robin Hood.
RIP Alan, you will be a great loss to the acting profession.
 
Never thought that much of him as an actor, but he seemed like a good man - which is more important.

RIP.
 
He found a role and played it to death (with quality and humour - he inserted all the jokes -"Christmas is cancelled" etc into Robin Hood) in the movies, but was by all accounts a very fine stage actor and a nice bloke.

RIP

He was a brilliant stage actor.
 
A great actor and by all accounts a good guy, no one played a baddy like him.
They say things come in 3s so hopefully he'll be the last

Sadly never saw him Col. I enjoyed his film work, though it was very clear he wasn't stretching himself, even when using a German accent he was essentially a sarcastic Englishman. Made many a **** film more bearable, though for me the Harry Potter films (and books) are beyond salvage.

I did see Kevin Spacey on stage in "The Iceman Cometh". Mesmerising. It was only when we left I noticed that it was about 4 hours long.

Despite struggling with deteriorating health, Paul, my father has reached the age of 79, but I'm sure would like to live longer. I like to think this is normal.

Good luck to him sir
Apologies I was coming from the fact that too many elderly are not cared for in the UK ... If they are then it's through love and family but I am not keen on the industry developed to profit from getting old
Your father is lucky to have a good boy like you
Around me in France I see such a massive difference where resource is aligned with the respect that generation deserves
My neighbour is 93 and is delivered top quality meals and physical therapy in her own home... Daily including weekends
This is standard practice and also in a remote hamlet where her son of 70 also lives, he is fit and could have the same if he wanted... Again standard stuff

It's based on these things that I made my statement

Given that they were both 36 when they retired that is impressive. Joke!!

Upsettingly I'm 55 next week, which sounds much worse than 54. No one has given me the respect I deserve for at least 30 years. Ingrates.
