His cameo as the Soviet Ambassador in "The Hunt for Red October" was great as well, albeit in a film filled with great cameos.

I remember The Family, not exactly a laugh a minute.

Pioneering documentary maker and ‘father of reality TV’ Paul Watson dies aged 81

The film-maker, who is credited with inventing the fly-on-the-wall serial in shows like The Family and Sylvania Waters, gained fame for giving voice to the working classes

Joss Ackland had great screen presence. Too much for the TV screen really. Big rugby player's face and physique but vulnerable too. Perfect King Lear.

One of those I thought had died sometime ago.
A good actor but hadn't heard of him for years.

I thought the most sensible, intelligent, caring, grounded, socially aware and level headed president the US has had in modern times. Which will be why they didn't vote him a 2nd term.

Always buzzed off his SAAAAD AFF-REE-KAAAN accent in Lethal Weapon 2.

If he indeed had "DEEP-LOW-MATIK EEE-MUUN-EEE-TEEE!" like he said at the end.... then how did that bullet to his fod kill him???
