One of my favourite actors. RIP.

Mine too. It's a real shame :(

I first saw him when he played a brutal psycho in an old episode of Sharpe. This character (Obadiah Cruikshank I think) was truly scary and had already been hanged once but survived.
I've been a fan ever since.
He was great in brassed off too!

He's brilliant in Brassed Off and like above my first memories were of him in Sharpe. RIP indeed.

I probably remember him best from In the Name of the Father - understated performance against DDL's hamming.
