R.i.p. Freddie Jones

[Ken4155]

Searched for a thread on this man's death and, astonishingly, couldn't find one. Have to say, as we are a nation of Soap Opera watchers, i'm surprised no-one has posted a thread on his demise. Apparently dies last night after a short illness. Just looked at his Wicki page and, my, what a CV he had. RIP.

Good old Freddie Jones. An acting stalwart for many films and plays. A true thespian of the old school. R.I.P. Freddie, a full life, and a job well done. Curtain down.

A long and widely varying career.

RIP Freddie.

He was still acting at 90 which is impressive.

I've never watched Emmerdale, but I do remember him from Hammer horrors long ago.

One of my favourite actors, he always added a special "something" to any part he played.

He was wonderful in a series The Ceasars in the 60s or 70s..
