Ian Richardson, RIP.

I’m sad to hear of the passing of Ian Richardson, an actor with one of the greatest voices I’ve ever heard, and coldly hypnotic eyes. I never saw him on the stage, but his performances for film and TV were always mesmerising. Obviously he’ll be well remembered for House of Cards and To Play the King but for me his roles in movies such as Brazil and Dark City are just as important.

    You forgot Gormenghast! I count myself as lucky enough to have seen him on stage at Malvern in a weird play called The Creeper. He was by far and away the best thing in it and it was worth seeing for him alone.
