"I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I watched C-Beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhauser Gate. All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain."

May he rest in peace.

So sad, I also remember him from Ladyhawke which was a movie I liked when I was a child so it’s very sad to hear that he has passed.

Did he play a role in a film called
Blind Fury?

Yes he did play in that movie.

@Adora,
Thanks.

I liked that one.

I think he may have also played a role as a funeral director caring for and preparing his dead wife's body and encouraging his son to help take care of his mums corpse.

but for the life of me, I can't remember which film it's from.

One of just a handful of scenes I've seen in movies that are utterly perfect.

Really liked him in Blade Runner. The replicants stole the show.

Really liked him in Blade Runner. The replicants stole the show.

From the opening scene pretty much "Oh, you wanna know what I think of my mother?" *literally blows him through the wall with a gun*

The Hitcher is a great film. He was superb in that.
