RIP David Warner, one of my favorite actors. :'( He didn't get the credit he deserved.

You are so right. He was a terrific actor.

He was a wonderfully gifted actor. RIP David Warner.

Paul Sorvino, too.
Both incredible talents.

Level 7

In one of his lesser known roles, I thought he did a great job as the village idiot in "Straw Dogs." A real turn against type.

Aww! Sadly, he got typecast as the bad guy, but DID get to satirize many of those roles in “Time Bandits.” He first caught my eye as a kid with his 1966 oddball comedy “Morgan.” The closing shot in that film will always be with me.

I LOVED the movie Morgan! For a long time as a kid, it was my favorite movie. I think I remember a scene where he gave his mother a piggy-back ride around Marx's grave!

@Organist1 Yes!!! And his hammer-and-sickle garden design at the institution became my adolescent metaphor for subversion/resistance!

I liked him in Tron and as Chancellor Gorkon. Also, Jack the Ripper in Time after Time. Sorry to hear it.

He was great as Dr. Alfred Necessiter in the Steve Martin movie "The Man With Two Brains." It's a very funny movie, and I think I'll watch it tonight.
