Sir Ian Holm

God bless him. Superb actor and delivered a quite unsettling and haunting performance as artificial human, Ash in Alien

Crap... That's very sad news.

He really was one of my favourite actors.. I never saw him put a foot wrong. I can't believe he was 88, he seemed so much younger. So many great films under his belt from Alien, The Lord of the Rings, Garden State, The 5th Element... the list is endless. Truly one of the finest actors of his generation.

He was particularly good in The Sweet Hereafter.  RIP.

I was surprised to hear this today, I also hadn't realised he was 88, although looking at recent photos his illness had aged him greatly.

He was also outstanding as Dr. Willis in 'The Madness of King George'.

Chariots of Fire , he was great in

and I quite liked him in Loch Ness, which wasn’t a very serious film, but a feel good one with the kids
