He did a kinda weird film called “frankenstein unbound” which I actually liked. In addition to the many great roles mentioned, he made the 50th anniversary of “Doctor Who” very special with his portayal of the “War Doctor”.

He made a hilarious Caligula in “I, Claudius” and was always reliably good in any role he was in. RIP.

Patrick Stewart was Lucius Aelius Sejanus. I have an impish desire to start the Kirk vs Pickard argument but I won't. Whoops ! looks like I did! 😜

A few years ago he portrayed the War Doctor - an incarnation of The Doctor that had never been revealed before, the one who fought in the Time War - for the fiftieth anniversary of Doctor Who.

And so was Patricia Quinn, better known as Magenta in The Rocky Horror Picture Show which she appeared in the year before I Claudius.
John Hurt was totally believable as Caligula which is a compliment to his acting ability.
May he rest in peace.

And he was the foppish Montrose in the 1995 film Rob Roy which had an excellent soundtrack.

Pancreatic cancer is a devil disease. The pancreas, being essential, can’t be removed. That leaves radiation and chemotherapy, both of which often fail. Just ask the late Chief Justice Rhenquitst. Prayers up.
