One of my favorite actors, a distinctive voice and while not conventionally handsome, he had a real presence. He could also be the most delicious villain.
If it weren’t for him wanting to know what was hidden in the garden shed at the Italian Villa, we would have lost most of Buster Keaton’s silent masterpieces. Bless his nosy nature!
