Freddie Jones, once of Emmerdale, The Elephant Man and many, many others. My favourite being the Satanic Rites of Dracula where he dies a horrible death of the bubonic plague.

Freddie Jones obituary

Veteran actor admired for his roles as ‘Sir’ on stage in The Dresser, the freak-show owner in the 1980 film The Elephant Man and Sandy Thomas in TV’s Emmerdale

[Dan Tanner]

Can't believe Rip Torn, his "Artie" alongside Jeffrey Tambor's "Hey now, Hank Kingsley" was the stuff of genius ..

And now Father Fintan Stack of 'Father Ted' fame has passed. Truly all classics of the 90's



Rip Brendan Grace

 

[Bluerover]

Brendan Grace was a really good guy. Very down to earth and genuinely funny.

RIP
