His chemistry with his "Broheim" Viggo Mortensen... short time onscreen but magnificently/comedically played "You know why I never got married Joey? because I never met a girl that would make me want to give up all the others"

RIP

William Hurt has died

Damn. He'd not looked well for awhile. Thought he looked frail in Black Widow, but just thought it might have been for the character.

Peter Bowles has passed away at aged 85.

I remember him fondly from the 70's and 80's sit-com scene. Most notably as Archie in "Only when I laugh"

Always reminded me of Lesley Phillips, an archetypal bounder and a cad character. He even starred as the title character in the sitcom "The Bounder".

RIP

Dammit, not Peter Bowles too. Loved him in Only When I Laugh and To the Manor Borne.

Was just reading about how William Hurt had prostrate cancer that spread to his bones back in 2018. He must have filmed several Avenger's films in great pain. I'm reminded of his role at Dr Richard Feynman from the dram documentary about the Challenger shuttle disaster. Nature imitating art.

Awful. Always loved Gilbert's film stuff, in Aladdin, Problem Child, Beverly Hills Cop 2, etc., but his peak definitely has to be his appearances on the Howard Stern radio show, many of which are on YouTube. They aren't for the faint hearted, though anyone who's familiar with his version of The Aristocrats should get through them without any trouble. This one starts with a bunch of stories about Gilbert's tragic attempts to chat up women followed by film director Amy Heckerling's assistant calling in to tell an archetypal story about picking him up from the airport and mistakenly telling him her parents died in the Holocaust:

This one sucks in the same way Norm's death last year sucked. He was a great recurring guest on Howard Stern when that show was good.

GUTTED about Philip Baker Hall passing away. So many great roles across film and TV, and a superb actor. Was delightful to see him pop up in anything.

As a massive Seinfeld fan how could I not mention his appearance as 'The Library Cop'

Doesn't do a damn thing but nods and eats. And dominates the screen.

Can't believe they're both gone within a couple of months of each other. Paulie wasn't meant to slap Henry, it was a spur of the moment thing. Hence the shock on Ray Liotta's face.

From Doctor Who, to the Railway Children, to beating up Basil Fawlty, to recording songs produced by George Martin just before he produced some other well known lads, to the Wombles and Old Jack's Boat for the kids, and back to Doctor Who again. Glorious.

Anybody from the age of 30 to 70 can say this man was part of their childhood. A softly spoken gargantuan talent. Really hoped he could have been in the Doctor Who 60th next year, and the remake of the Railway Children.

RIP you amazing, loveable rascal.

I've just read that Bernard is actually in the 60th next year. I've no idea if they'll have to rejig things or whether they got all his scenes, but it will be poignant seeing Wilfred one final time.

He was everyone's grandad.

I was looking at Bernard Cribben’s film history and saw that one of his roles was in ‘Tommy the Toreador’ starring Tommy Steele, who is still alive. My mum took me to see that in 1959 and she passed away the same day as Bernard Cribbens.

Strange how life works out.

Sad news, but like you say what a life he led. I loved him in that episode of Fawlty Towers, he was such an important part of why that episode was so amusing especially the way he played the character.

Sorry for your loss, Howard.

Film is weird isn’t it? Potentially there forever, Bernard Cribbins as the young hero with Peter Cushing as Doctor Who, then decades later as an old man with David Tennant as Doctor Who. I remember him reading The Hobbit on Jackanory and he grabbed my attention, got me into Tolkien & books in general. I now work as a librarian.

TipTopKop · « **Reply #119 on:** July 28, 2022, 09:34:25 pm »

Ah, condolences Howard.

Bernard Cribbins was that wonderful talent that spanned generations, I grew up a Wombles, Jackanory era lad, and my nieces love him in Old Jack's Boat. There's a whole generation in the 90's and 00's in between who know him for Dr. Who and other bits.

Just found out he was Buzby from them BT ads.. RIP. A wonderful man.
