Was Brilliant in Chariots of fire! Was quite versatile wasn’t he. Such as Alien’ and played a good part in Day after tomorrow.
RIP

Sad news. I had no idea he was as old as he was, to be honest! That's the thing about actors, I guess, we sort of expect them to look how they do in what we're watching, even if that was 20 years ago! I adored The Lord of the Rings when they came out but trying to watch them now, I do struggle. Not least because I struggle to sit and watch anything that's 3 hours long, but ... I don't know. I haven't managed to watch them for ages, though I've tried to start them a few times. I don't think The Hobbit helped. I loved that book when I was little, so had very high hopes but Peter Jackson decided that it, too, needed to be a 3 film epic, for which there wasn't enough material ... no matter, I'll make it up! I don't think there have ever been so many battle scenes in another film in history, either, not even ones specifically about battles! I haven't even bothered to watch the final one. A great shame.

RIP Ian.
He was very good at projecting menace in Alien with just a look.
