Godot 149 Posted January 1, 2011 I suspect this will be one of the thinnest threads on the forum. If he had been listed as "butler" rather than actor I might have twigged who he was. There was a time when the committee would have rejected him under the fame rule but this year's choices look to have been influenced by a desire for a high body count. I recognised him as soon as I saw the face but he doesn't have strong name recognition. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Vaagheid 141 Posted January 1, 2011 I just love this pick. There's just something interesting about seeing obscure B-filmstars on these list. Wasn't he also one of Adolf Hitler's fathers in The Boys of Brazil? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
msc 18,432 Posted January 1, 2011 Great actor, he's been in everything over the years. Used to be married to/date 60s Doctor Who assistant Anneke Wills, was villains in Doctor Who and The Avengers, and was in several Hammer and Amicus films, so he's well known to the average cult movie/tv fan. He was also a big fan of the LSD back in the day. No idea about his current health though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And I'd say that even if he wasn't in some of my favourite TV shows at one point. (On the other hand, my shadow deathlist now has 5 hits out of 50 by March. That's not bad going for a first attempt at this sort of thing, I guess.) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
thefunkyfaz 51 Posted March 17, 2011 I had Michael Gough on my "shortlist" for the DDP, then foolishly omitted him. Hopefully, by way of a tribute, they'll show "Horror Hospital" on TV - a fine film in which MG cracks his knuckles is a very menacing fashion... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Phantom 2,531 Posted March 17, 2011 Sad to see him go. 94 is a great age to live to. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RIP Wee Jum 1,559 Posted March 17, 2011 Hopefully now there is going to be a few more quick hits on the list. Lots of people are just hanging on at the moment. Which is pretty selfish if you ask me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He did voice work for a video within the last 2 months so presumably recently! And for Alice In Wonderland and other fairly recent Tim Burton projects, I guess cause I hadn't seen him no camera in so long just assumed he was in a care home somewhere or some such. I never recognised his voice in Alice In Wonderland and have no recollection of his character Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
