After co-star and beloved actor passes away at home

On stage, especially in Shakespeare and classical theatre, he was revered for his precision and depth, often anchoring productions at the National Theatre and beyond. His early radio training and BBC Drama Company roots gave his voice a rare authority that carried into film, television, and countless audio dramas. At home, he was simply husband, father, and grandfather; his legacy continues through his wife, actress Amanda Walker, and their daughter Kate, now Head of Voice at the Royal Shakespeare Company.
