Dead? No excuse for laying off work.

A Time Bandits quote in tribute to David Warner, who has died of cancer aged 80.

[Sean of the Shed]

I thought this was a DWP thread when I saw the title.

[Cal Alamein]

Solid actor - creepy as hell in Time After Time.

[Nocturnal Submission]

Ah, that's a shame.

Morgan - A Suitable Case For Treatment was a funny old film but interestingly quirky. Excellent in Time Bandits though.

Came to an iconically sticky end in The Omen.

RIP

[Jah Womble]

RIP.

(In a round about way, that quote reminds me of the time Kenny Hibbitt was dismissed by Walsall for attending his brother's funeral.)

[3 Colours Red]

Excellent in all three of his villainous roles in Tron (people will know that he played both Dillinger and Sark but he's uncredited as the voice of the MCP as well).

[Trevor Red]

A fine actor. I saw him play Falstaff at the RSC back in 2008, he was wonderful.
Back in the 1980's he had a rare leading role on TV in a BBC1 series called Hold The Back Page, where he played a sports writer lured from a quality paper to a tabloid.
There was a nice scene in the last episode when his boss begs him to stay. "I'll give you freedom from editorial interference, a new word processor, anything you want!"
"Do you promise?"
"Yes!"
"Then swear it on a Wisden!"

Most of the time Hold The Back Page wasn't all that great but he elevated it by his charm and talent. Tremendous range, I've never been bored whilst watching anything he did.

[Sits]

Good all-rounder and in loads over the years.

[blameless]

He was also excellent in the 1978 version of The 39 Steps.
