“Bilbo has gone into the West...”

Done in one. Yes, sailed from the Grey Havens on the straight path to the Undying Lands.

Bilbo has gone into the West.

Interesting they blame Parkinson’s; clearly there’s more to that disease than I’m aware of. He looked bad enough I figured cancer.

Alien was his best role. He was great in The Fifth Element too.

It was Time Bandits and Brazil that brought him to my attention.

I had NO idea he was that old! Must’ve caught up with him after the ring was destroyed.

I think his part in Alien was brilliant. (Truly)

And don’t forget that great classic, The Fifth Element. /s But I still enjoy him in it.

He also played Zerah of the Sanhedrin in Jesus of Nazareth.

Great, versatile actor!

I first saw him in “Mary Queen of Scots” (1971) he was stabbed to death. Traumatized me as a kid.

His character also gave Chariots of Fire a good reality check.
