Robbored Posted May 5 Report Share Posted May 5 He seemed to have been around for ever. Many will remember him as Yosser Hughes in Boys from the Blackstuff and as King Theoden in Lord of the rings. I had no idea that was almost 80. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
