Roy Dotrice (1923-2017) |
|
- Patrick Stewart, Lifeforce, 1984.
- Michael Gothard, Lifeforce, 1984.
- Aubrey Morris, Lifeforce, 1984.
- Frank Finlay, Lifeforce, 1984.
- Gerald S O’Loughlin, The Secret Kingdom, 1997. Bit of a letdown for both actors seen for Chartwell - a former George IV and Stanley Kolwalski, respectively - as three kids find a tiny kingdom (no kidding) under the kitchhen sink (where else?)… I can’t go on!
- Julian Glover, Game of Thrones, TV, 2011-2012. The HBO series was based on the opening stanza of the A Song of Ice and Firenovels by George R R Martin. Dotrice was an old pal of Martin, having read (supplying all the thousand voices!) the audio books (exceptA Feast for Crows).So he was obviously cast as the Grand Maester Pycelle - until withdrawing for health reasons. He was later able to join the second season as Pyromancer Hallyne - an elderly alchemist at King's Landing - and traditionally called a Wisdom - in the HBO colossus following the bloodthirsty family battles for the Iron Throne of the Seven Kingdoms.Shakespeare without the words.
