RIP, Roger Lloyd-Pack

[calliopes_pen]

Roger Lloyd-Pack has passed away, at the age of 69, after a battle with pancreatic cancer. May he rest in peace. I’ve only seen him in the Doctor Who two-parter The Age of Steel and Rise of the Cybermen, where he played John Lumic.

He was one of those brilliant character actors whom we seem to specialise in over here. Rarely are they leading men or women, but they generally put in excellent performances playing a wide range of characters who are totally engaging, whether they're good guys or villains.

He was Barty Crouch Sr. in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire...in other words, David Tennant's movie dad! :(

I likely wouldn't have seen him there, as I never saw those movies--wasn't interested in the books. I was only aware of Tennant being in them, thanks to someone posting a snippet of a scene he was in at one point.
