RIp still very young
What a good actor of straight and comedy roles. RIP
Great actor I still watch Dalziel and Pascoe
I only watched him alongside Clint Eastwood in Firefox from 1982 on ITV4 last night-excellent film in which he played a memorable role. Very sad news, RIP
To soon to go Warren. Sleep easy now. R I P.
Loved him as the landlord in that classic football hooliganism film ID. RIP Mr Clarke.
Blackadder III, the Amy and Amiability sketch was a classic.
Clarke played Mr Hardwood, Amy’s father.
Mr H: “I’d rather take off all my clothes and paint my bottom blue than give her to a man who didn’t love her!
Edmund Blackadder : What self-respecting father could do more ?
H: On the other hand, if he’s a prince, he can have her for ten bob and a pickled egg.
E: I can see where your daughter gets her ready wit, sir.
H: I thank you.
E: Although where she gets her good looks and charm is perhaps more of a mystery.
H: No one ever made money out of good looks and charm.
E: You obviously haven’t met Lady Hamilton, sir.
So young so sad RIP
Rest in peace, great actor.
have your say
