One of my favorite British Actors - I loved him in Saint with Roger Moore and the Avengers with Patrick MacNee and Diana Rigg - he was sensational in those television series and worked with many actors in his film career too. I'm a fan of him and enjoyed his work immensely ... he will be missed by all.

The Lord Bothwell role was the one that I thought of first when I heard this news too. He was wonderful opposite Vanessa Redgrave's Mary.

Moira - good to see a fellow fan of Lord Bothwell in that film. It's always the first film I associate with him.
