This is sad news indeed! He is one of those actors who you never know the name of but always recognize and like. I first saw him in (*groan*) James and the Giant Peach but after that I saw him everywhere!

He was a marvelous actor. I really respected his role in "In the Name of the Father." I felt he carried that movie better than Daniel Day Lewis...

Noooooooo! He was Commander Vimes! (or at least the model for him)
Truly sad.

I think I'm throwing in The Usual Suspects as a tribute movie to him today. Great actor who had some fantastic performances.

What a shame.
Loved him in Usual Suspects and In the Name of the Father.

and his recent turn in Inception becomes more sad.

The monk from Dragonheart, Kobayashi, the only good character in Lost World, so many, many great roles. Few actors could pull off creepy like this guy. Great loss, I really felt it.

He's writing histories and shooting arrows at immortal kings for God now... Pax vobiscum, frater Gilbert de Glockenspur. Requiescat in pace, frater Laurence.

I thought the former Hot Dog Eating Champion had passed away.
Man I heard about this on the radio. I had just hoped that it was some other actor not him. They played a interview with him and I can honestly say that there was nothing of "him" in his parts. He truely was an amazing actor who could put on an entire person.
