Phantom 2,533 Posted July 5, 2012 The avtor James Grout has died at 83.He was best known perhaps as the boss of Inspector Morse in the show of the same name.. http://www.guardian....y?newsfeed=true This is sad news as I thought he was wonderful but it did get me thinking! James Grout played Mr Butterbur, who as you all know is the innkeeper at the Prancing Pony in Bree, in the Radio 4 adaptation of Lord of the Rings. With the exception of the hobbits (Ian Holm, Bill Nighy, Richard McCabe) most of the major cast members are no longer with us (Michael Horden, Robert Stephens, Jack May, John Le Messurier) when I get some time I might check out the full cast and update! I had him pencilled on a list a few years ago and he's been on my backup list for ages. I couldn't find any health info on him so always left him off. I always liked his acting in The Beiderbecke Affair and also in Inspector Morse. Sad to hear he's now gone. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He also had a hand in "Dr Kildare" I didn't know Dr Kildare was that way inclined. Well, he was played by Richard Chamberlain. Although not very well. Felton by the way was also responsible for The Girl From U.N.C.L.E. which starred Noel Harrison, the son of Rex. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
