Paul Scofield RIP

[ATS]

Oscar winner has died at age of 86. Had been suffering from leukaemia
A man for all seasons is one of my favourite films.

A great actor who will be sadly missed. He also turned down a knighthood

RIP

[Trumpton]

One of the best actors. He always shunned the limelight.

R.I.P. Mr. Scofield.

[Pervert]

Just watch The Crucible or Quiz Show to see just how good an actor he was; stealing scenes from much younger and fashionable actors.

i saw this and though you meant Phillip Schofield..Was gonna say, i only saw him on This Morning earlier!

Never heard of the guy but RIP

[Pervert]

He didn't do that many films, Tequila---more of a theatre actor, and not as well known as Olivier or Gielguid, for example. But when he did appear on film, he was a class act.

Oh, and if Philip Schofield was found dead, do you reckon Gordon the Gopher would have a hand in it?

Not to worry Tequila, Tarquin will post a summary from his favourite resource - Wikipedia.

It's OK Steve I only jest. It is Michell and yes he's a good actor too
Although his finest hour was probably with captain beaky and his band
Did Keith also play the drums on that hit I wonder?
