His reading of Poe's poem "The Raven" in an early Simpson's is the finest ever rendition - such a perfect voice for such a work, that maybe might just be edged out by Vincent Price.
So, Rest In Peace, my good man. James Earl Jones 93, and such a good age
The Raven by Edgar Allan Poe
"Once upon a midnight dreary, while I pondered, weak and weary,
Over many a quaint and curious volume of forgotten lore--
While I nodded, nearly napping, suddenly there came a tapping,
As of some one gently rapping, rapping at my chamber door.
"'Tis some visitor," I muttered, "tapping at my chamber door--
Only this and nothing more."
Kenneth Cope, aged 93.

Yes. Sad news. Mike Pratt who played Randall died in 1976. At least Cope got a good innings.
Randall (deceased) and Hopkirk (deceased)

Yes, I heard he was a good cricketer, and coincidentally just seen him this week in an early episode of the TV series of Robin Hood, with Richard Greene.
Rest in Peace ✝️
He died? Howzat?

I suspect he saw some irony in that. But hardly a surprise, as I don't think there was a scene where he wasn't smoking, and he did get knocked on the head an awful lot, and back then it was probably with real guns.
Maggie Smith has died at age 89
Legend.
Wonderful actress - Rest In Peace

Maggie Smith won five BAFTA awards. That's more than me.
