Not quite like a favourite brother in your picture, MerylStreep

Lovely picture of him 😍

I think, as well as being a great actor, he always looked as if he could be your favourite brother.

So sad he was a great actor.
Must say he appeared to have lost lots of weight in the recent Full Monty series on Disney.

Very sad. Same age as me….
I loved him in “Priest”, a wonderful film that few people have seen. He acted with Robert Carlyle in that too.

I did like Tom Wilkinson and am sorry to hear about this.

RIP Tom Wilkinson

It’s so sad. Yet another one to leave this stage for the big one in the sky. What is it with this time of year? I know people leave us at any time in the year, but the run up to Christmas seems to give us a surfeit.

The Grand Budapest Hotel.
Girl with Pearl Earring.
Selma.
And many more.

Very sad, we enjoyed everything he appeared in.

Oh no! such a good actor he seemed able to play any part. RIP

A brilliant understated actor with a massive portfolio of work. RIP Tom.

He was an excellent actor

BlueBelle Sat 30-Dec-23 19:29:54

Georgesgran no don’t recognise him obviously not watch whatever he’s been in

Calendargirl Sat 30-Dec-23 19:29:34

And he was Helen Mirren’s (Jane Tennyson’s) boyfriend in the first Prime Suspect.

BlueBelle Sat 30-Dec-23 19:28:58

Ok thanks I never saw the full Monty

Georgesgran Sat 30-Dec-23 19:28:43

I was going to say Google him BlueBelle. Best Marigold Hotel and so much more. I’m sure you’ll recognize his face,

Ilovecheese Sat 30-Dec-23 19:26:11

Bluebelle He was the manager in The Full Monty. I didn't realise he was even as old as that. How time flies!

RIP

BlueBelle Sat 30-Dec-23 18:29:33

Don’t think I know the name

TerriBull Sat 30-Dec-23 18:18:54

A great character actor, sad to read of his death not that old by today's standards.

Grandmabatty Sat 30-Dec-23 18:14:16

Very sad. 75 isn't young, but it's not that old either. He was an excellent actor

spottybook Sat 30-Dec-23 18:07:07

Just read that he has died. A very fine actor.
