Great actor, great voice. Sir John was one of my favourites so this is sad news to wake up to.

RIP

That scene in Alien will never be bettered. RIP.

Caligula in 'I Claudius' - brilliant.

No words can ever fully reach and summarise his brilliance as an actor.

I thought it was highly amusing.....

It might have been even funnier if Aleksander the Meerkat came out of his stomach.

I thought his portrayal of Caligula in "I Claudivs" was pretty good though.

I wonder if he ever got to fcuk someone like Helen Mirren.... those luvvies are/were pretty rampant sexually and many were bi-curious too I suspect.

Anyway.... RIP John.

I agree. Still holds up well today in this age of C.G.I.
I still think his best performance was as Quentin Crisp in The Naked Civil Servant.
One of the best film and t.v actors to come out of this country.
RIP.

Good actor, and a general guarantee of quality in pretty much everything he appeared in.

He completes the "full house" for the cast of A Man For All Seasons, in which he was excellent as the weasely Richard Rich.

Yes, who can forget that scene when he walked past Thomas More (Paul Schofield) after he had done the dirty on him for the bauble of Prince Of Wales, and More said: 'It profits not a man to sell his soul for the entire World. But for Wales?'.

Other memorable performances include:

Clippety cloppety: Champion

Abracadabra : Harry Potter

oooo, errr: Quentin Crisp

It's the root-a-toot: Watership Down

I didn't mean to be flippant, but with a bit of lightness.

A truly iconic actor. And by all accounts a lovely person.
