He did a lot of things. He was Admiral Greer in several of the Jack Ryan movies, including Hunt for Red October. He was a pretty chilling villain in Conan the Barbarian. He voiced Mufasa in The Lion King. His first role was a small one in Dr Strangelove!

I saw him in Much Ado About Nothing in the Old Vic about 11 years ago. That voice... just something out of this world.

Bit of unwanted side Seanie. Went in off.

God rest him, superb broadcaster. Still a gap where he used to be when watching snooker I think, nobody has filled those shoes yet.

His break broke down just short of the century. Those still get a nice round of appreciative applause though

That is inspired. It must be acknowledged.

He was also a Golden Gloves boxer, a star college Gridiron player and played rugby (for Oxford). He rose to the rank of Captain in the US army where he flew helicopters. Unfortunately, despite his high achievements, much of his life was blighted by alcoholism which he eventually conquered. A day in the life of an alcoholic was harrowingly laid bare through his masterpiece Sunday Morning Coming Down.

I remember my sister went to see him in Cork around 1980 ( both of these are from my own hazy memory ) ~ ~ Unfortunately, the performance was from somebody that was either high on drugs / alcohol ~ ~ As you say he seemed to come through that ( hopefully anyway )
