charon 4,943 Posted January 31, 2016 Had forgotten he was the Witchsmeller Pursuivant until I swatched his imdb. And shroud would be proud, in 1992 back to back roles in 'Stalin' and a Sherlock Holmes adaptation 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bibliogryphon 9,572 Posted January 31, 2016 Had forgotten he was the Witchsmeller Pursuivant until I swatched his imdb. And shroud would be proud, in 1992 back to back roles in 'Stalin' and a Sherlock Holmes adaptation "Thou shalt not eat the fruit of the carrot tree" Very sad. I liked him he played Johnny Maxwell's Grandfather in the TV adaptation of Terry Pratchet's Johnny and the Dead. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
