Wiki also has him listed in "1952 births" (though based on his Scum appearance, 1960 seems likelier)

The Mirror are correct. He was born in ‘52.

 

So IMDb have been spreading an erroneous birth year around the whole web as usual. That’s the problem when you run a “database” where your staff do no first hand research but instead depend on unverified contributions from the public.

Which is indeed what I was basing it on, released 1979 so presumably mostly shot in 78/79 making him 26'ish if born in '52 and 18'ish if born in '60.

Just a young looking mid 20's then I guess.

  • Alan Igbon, 68, British actor (Boys from the Blackstuff, The Professionals, Coronation Street).[2] (death announced on this date)

    Note that it says "death announced on this date".

    If an exact date is unknown, they're by default listed under the date of the earliest date of announcement by a reliable source.

    It'll be moved once an exact date becomes clear.

Květa Eretová, née Jeništová, a Czech chess player, "FIDE International Women Master" since 1957 and "FIDE Woman Grandmaster" since 1986, who won the Czechoslovak Women's Chess Championship ten times between 1955 and 1986, has died aged 94.

Unsure whether we have a thread for chess players, but she is a Death of 2021!

Mark Kozelek of Red House Painters and Sun Kil Moon was accused of sexual assault against 3 women last August. 

This has led to all gigs being canceled. This could effectively end his career and be the end of him

 

I met him once when Red House Painters played Leeds Duchess Of York. He was a right miserable git.
