I only found out today. Hard not to be a fan of that guy. I got back into drawing a few years ago after having not picked up a pencil for the better part of 20 years and while skimming youtube for art videos I was Kim vs Jim Lee video where they had to draw batman. Jim was very uncomfortable using just a pen. Kim slayed it. Very sad to hear he's gone, only 47 too.

Angela Lansbury has died at 96 according to the BBC.

The wise man doubts often, and changes his mind; the fool is obstinate, and doubts not; he knows all things but his own ignorance.
The correct statement of individual rights is that everyone has the right to an opinion, but crucially, that opinion can be roundly ignored and even made fun of, particularly if it is demonstrably nonsense!” Professor Brian Cox
I seem to have grown up with Robbie - all the way from his alternative comedy roots like Laugh? I nearly Paid My License Fee! and Comic Strip Presents... through to Cracker. Harry Potter was the least of his work.

It's strange to realize he's the same age as my parents.
My earliest exposure to him? Krull. Still love that movie.

"You listen to me. While I will admit to a certain cynicism, the fact is that I am a naysayer and hatchetman in the fight against violence. I pride myself in taking a punch and I'll gladly take another because I choose to live my life in the company of Gandhi and King. My concerns are global. I reject absolutely revenge, aggression, and retaliation. The foundation of such a method... is love. I love you Sheriff Truman." - Twin Peaks

I'm not a Harry Potter fan so his role in that is mostly irrelevant to me (although I know Hagrid was a well-loved character in that series). I mostly think of him as Valentin Zukovsky, in the 007 movies GoldenEye and The World Is Not Enough. I do remember him being in Krull (along with a young Liam Neeson), and like Tannhauser42 above I also love that movie.

To folks of my vintage, will always be best known for the Robin of Sherwood theme. A landmark TV series which heavily influenced modern interpretations of Robin Hood.
