Damn. All the greats seem to be passing on. I was a serious fan of this guy.

May he rest in peace

I loved him in The Wicker Man and Breaker Morant.  His TV stuff though?  Dreadful for the most part.  There were a couple of decent things.  I thought The Equalizer was especially awful.  Bleh.  And these days, from what I read, he was in Eastenders.   :ye_gods:   But I really did love him in The Wicker Man!

I loved the Equalizer when I was a kid, especially the theme song.

Edward Woodward got me through a Turkish military checkpoint once.
