Sad news, always an interesting and quirky actor. I loved him as Evil in Time Bandits he had some great lines in that. RIP David. ------------- "And now...on the drums...Mick Underwooooooooood!!!" "He's up the pub" |

I believe he was decapitated in the first Oman movie. Very actor. RIP. ------------- This message was brought to you by a proud supporter of the Deep State. |

I was very sad when I found out. David Warner has had a very special place in my heart. He has played a few of my favourite baddies from around the same time, Evil from Time Bandits of course, Jack the Ripper from another time movie, Time After Time (he is both wicked and sympathetic, I find) and Sark, Ed Dillinger and the Master Control Program in Tron. I like audio dramas, and one of my very favourites has been the Big Finish version of Sapphire and Steel, where he voiced Steel (I have listened to that series many times over in very large part to his character). This was based on a TV series where David McCallum had voiced the original Steel. A tribute: |

When I was still a single digit kid, David Warner instantly made an impression on me in Time After Time as a time-displaced Jack the Ripper. The same year (1979), he appeared in the B-movie semi-classic Nightwing, as Payne, the scientist called in by the reservation to investigate the surging number of bat-related deaths. It got panned right and left, but I liked it. *I just found out about the 2013 film Before I Sleep, which Warner stars in as a reclusive poet in search of redemption.

Should have played Doctor Who properly although I think he played an 'alternative' version at some time (bit vague on that though) I do well remember him in Straw Dogs. Great 'British' film albeit directed by Sam Peckinpah!
