a real shock to me :-(

Very sad to hear this news, a great actor.

Bar The Boat That Rocked he was always in very good films.

RIP.

He was in the 'John Malkovich school' of actors. Someone whose face many might recognise, but whose name they might not know.

I'm a bit of a fan of his - he won a Best Actor Oscar a few years ago, for his portrayal of Truman Capote in the film 'Capote', and he was excellent in Happiness.

A great shame and waste of talent.

Terrible news. He was a truly wonderful actor.

[anneasquith]

what was the film called where he played the priest ?

Just heard on Radio 4 that Seymour was found with a hypodermic needle in his arm and that packets of heroin were lying near-by. Too early to be exact I suppose but it appears to be the usual reason...drug addiction.
