Commtech Sio Bibble 2,345 Posted Tuesday at 14:30 Over Christmas my mum mentioned him thinking he was already dead, I think having mixed him up with John Sessions, she'll probably be quite confused when she finds out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Can't think of any right now, though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

markb4 940 Posted Tuesday at 16:48 So sad. I've been binging the UK Whose Line games recently and it's sad to know Tony isn't here anymore. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I've always confused the two as well. No real idea why - maybe the style and the similarity of shows? Dunno. For the past few years I've struggled to remember which was the one that had died (I knew one of them had and one not) and normally get it straight after a couple of minutes in my head. That particular problem resolved now of course, sadly. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That particular problem resolved now of course, sadly. Never had much time for John Sessions as a stand up it was always a little self satisfied but he was a good actor. He was absolutely perfectly cast as Doctor Prunesquallor in Gormenghast and was very good as a cross dressing actor in the Kenneth Branagh film In The Bleak Midwinter. Whereas with Tony Slattery in scripted comedy I always felt he was in danger of falling off it always looked barely contained mania but his improv was superb Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
