The Unknown Man

The Dead Of 2012

Recommended Posts

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.

I didn't know Dr Kildare was that way inclined.

I'm afraid it's true.

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.

Sage Stallone - 36 year old son of Sylvester - cause of death still unclear, apparently. Anyone know owt about this? So far as I know he wasn't one of those dissolute drug-ridden son/daughter of star who was likely to go suddenly.

The Telegraph reports it was an overdose of pills

Bio within the article doesn't mention her on-going role as one fellow-actress quite happy to turn up in documentaries and talk about how over-rated Marilyn Monroe was.
