Joined the dark side.

I could have sworn he died last year or so as well. At first I thought I might have been mistaking him for David Prowse, but he died a few years ago now so don't think so.

Absolutely spot-on, wingy! I was in my teens when that was on, and it was so enlightening. Brilliant TV!
My wife had a chef working for her who referred to a black kitchen porter - just once - as Chicken George. "Chef" didn't make it to the end of the shift!

They always mention Darth Vader but what about Mufasa in the Lion King? What a voice. Can't imagine Joe Pasquale voicing him!

Same here, Wingy. I'll always associate him with "Roots". I was in my mid 20's and had 3 kids by then!

Kenneth Cope , Hopkirk is now officially deceased

It's amazing his epitaph doesn't have his seminal work list in the press, might get a mention in the passage eventually but not the point, take note all you reporter's.
Sad indeed 93 is no bad!
RIP Hopkirk!

Didn't he have a part in Coronation Street years ago? Maybe I'm thinking of someone else?

Doh!

 

[Houchens Head]

Doh!

Just found this .....
A spokesperson for the soap said: “Kenneth's portrayal of Jed Stone, also known as Sonny Jim, on Coronation Street between 1961 and 1966 made him a firm favourite with the soap's fans. “He was a talented actor and writer and we were delighted when he agreed to reprise the role 42 years later in 2008.

My motto of never trusting people who have Christian names for surnames will be overlooked this time!

So sad. What a fabulous actress. I always had the feeling she would never die, because she just seemed to keep going and going and going

Wil be very sadly missed.

If Dame Maggie is in it, then I'm guessing that's not the film I'm thinking it is
