A great comedic actor, and also, in later life a fantastic actor in serious roles, something I think he should have been given more of.

He will be missed. RIP.

Never heard of him but your remembrance is a testament to his character.

He was a brilliant Shakesperan actor as well as his TV comedies. He said "It was the ciggies that got me." May he rest in peace.
