RolandDeschain 91 Posted August 3, 2017 I actually saw an episode of an old anthology type horror show on Amazon Prime called 'The Veil' about 2 weeks ago - it was one of those old shows (1958) starring and introduced by Boris Karloff. He was in the first episode with Karloff and another death list alumni Patrick Macnee. I didn't really recognise him as I'd only seen in him stuff from the late 70s onwards. I did recognise his voice and saw his credit on IMDB! Just shows how long he has been acting..From acting with Boris Karloff to Harry Potter! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

themaninblack 2,112 Posted August 3, 2017 Churchill multiple times, Siegfried Farnon, Pontius Pilate in Dennis Potter's 'Son of Man', terrific dual role in cult 80s sitcom 'Hot Metal' etc etc, yet when he dies it's Harry fucking Potter.

msc 18,479 Posted August 3, 2017 Died in Denville Hall, apparently. Was still living in the Cotswold's when I started this thread, so a relatively swift downturn. Still, that's the thing. Folk are always doing well for their age, until they're not. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sean 6,333 Posted August 3, 2017 I wonder how many famous faces are Denville Hall currently.My guesses are Glynis Johns Doreen Keogh Doreen Mantle Bernard Hepton Leslie Phillips Honor Blackman Roy Dotrice Liz Fraser Bill Maynard Stanley Baxter Fanella Fielding Claire Bloom Paula Tilbrook Peggy Cummins Joan Plowright Bill Treacher Leonard Fenton The Beverly twins.

Spade_Cooley 9,538 Posted August 3, 2017 Baxter would be in Brinsworth not Denville, surely? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
msc 18,479 Posted August 3, 2017 As of last year, Baxter still lived at his home in Highgate, and was getting out and about, iirc. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
msc 18,479 Posted August 3, 2017 Also, correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't Roy Dotrice live in LA now? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

IIRC, he 'starred' in a few US shows back in the late 70s/80s as did a few other British actors who were vaguely famous. Usually played villains ( surprise surprise ) but never had the air time that some like Wilfred Hyde White and Nigel Stock had. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sean 6,333 Posted August 3, 2017 Although Baxter was well last year so was Adam West Robert Hardy Roger Moore and Michael Bond.Once you start getting near or into your 90`s a swift decline can often occur. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Makes my piss boil that does! Harry Potter is by far one of the most overrated series of all time. I mean, I understand that it's more focused on the younger generation like me (and while I thought it was good, it was nowhere near the greatest film series of all time), but when they use that as the headline for an older actor who has clearly achieved much more in their life than a minor role in Harry Potter, I completely agree that it's so fucking annoying. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
msc 18,479 Posted August 3, 2017 The books are perfectly fine kids fantasy stuff. Better quality than the Goosebumps books, no doubt (but not as fun, of course). The films are not very good. Badly paced, reliant on badly directed inexperienced kid actors, and entirely held up by a bunch of top class actors in the adult roles. Who saw their roles cut down considerably, ie Robert Hardy. 1 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
