Not as immediately famous and as big a name as the recent spate of celebrity deaths but worth marking as he was a magnificent actor - perhaps best known for the then-controversial (if you're old enough) Bouquet of Barbed Wire back in the 70s but with a busy career on stage and on both screens:

The roll-call of deaths this past month is becoming seriously depressing :(
(Just realised that perhaps this might go better in LMA&E - feel free to move it if desired).

Yes, I remember him.
I'm wondering if it's to do with our age, all the ones famous in our teens are starting to pop off now.
:(
There just seem to have been so many this month ???

I can remember him in the TV series Casanova (1971). Not as enjoyably eccentric as Fellini's film of 1978, but controversial for it's time.

Casanova was a bit early for me but I've watched it since and I don't feel it has aged well - they stretched out the story too much beyond what it would bear.
I remember him from the time as a lovely Porthos, a good Van Helsing, and a nutty Witchsmeller Pursuivant
