My 31-year-old daughter was literally crying when she texted me this. That's her childhood.

I first fell in love with him in Cracker on BBC. He was both dramatic and funny and you couldn't take your eyes off of him. He was the only movie actor in the movie series who was as good as Jim Dale the audiobook reader of Harry Potter.
