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

A few years before that he was the treacherous android, Ash, in Alien and later he played the lead character, Pod Clock, in a BBC version of The Borrowers. So besides LOTR and Bilbo Baggins, he just about made playing fantasy characters his "oeuvre". Doctor Willis, who "treated" George III madness and with what amounted to torture and restraints, and trainer Sam Mussabini in Chariots of Fire were two more conventional roles. But he was brilliant and memorable in everything he did.
