I remember him as Alfred in Tim Burton's Batman. I don't remember Out of Africa as I was fairly young when that came out, and everything else he's starred in I've most likely never seen. So it's Alfred that I remember him as.

Rest in peace, dear man. The world is a bit less charming without you. :cry:

I wonder how many other than myself would have gotten that reference if you had said nothing else but that?

Arrivederci, Michael Gough. :shucks:

Ok is that the guy who starred in the thing about the guy who was trying to build a clock that would work properly on board a big ol' sailing ship?

If I'm remembering the name right he was also Dumbledore in the Harry Potter films after Richard Harris died. I didn't think I would like anyone else in the part but he was great.

I picked up on the "Toymaker" refernce because I'm a perverse Doctor Who fan. I also loved him as Tolstoy in The Young Indiana Jones Chronicles.

As for both Longitude and Harry Potter, that was Michael Gambon.

Michael Gough was mainly a character actor who was in a whole bunch of stuff over a whole lot of years.

Right, duh.

I can picture Gough in my mind now, totally different guy.

Enjoyed his work too though, RIP good sir. :salute:

He was 94? Good Lord he looked much younger than 94.

Rest in peace Sir. Until the time we all meet.

Possibly Kaptain_Philips and other DW fan that likes the firsts doctors.

Do not forgett about his role has Dr. Paul Flammond!

Couldn't find the one about germans cars...
