He was 91 trippy. Not a bad age!  I heard yesterday of someone dying suddenly of a heart attack aged approx 69, the mother of someone who cuts my hair.  You never know the hour.

His was a familiar face, I remember him from the Green Mile but, more recently, as the sinister Roman in Big Love.  He was so good in that.

Great character actor


http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-41288546

He and the actress who plays Dot Cotton/Branning could have been brother and sister in real life.

I remember him playing an angel in one film but cannot remember the name of the film. A wonderful age to live to.

Never heard of him.
I once tried using "chicken" as a password, but was told it must contain a capital so I tried "chickenkiev"
On another occasion, I tried "beefstew", but was told it wasn't stroganoff.

He was one of those actors whom you see in various things but don't know their name.  Very successful too!
I only know him from the first series of 'Big Love', in which he was marvellous as Roman Grant; I did recognise the actor but couldn't put a name to him.  I've since watched the second series by searching various sites (it went onto SKY I think & I don't have that).
