Bernard Hill: Titanic and Lord of the Rings actor dies

His fellow actors from the 1997 Oscar-winning film pay tribute to a star whose career spanned decades.

A fantastic actor, he had great on-screen presence. I'm sure my generation will remember him mostly for Lord of the Rings and Titanic, but I remember him most recently for his performance as the abrasive Lord Norfolk in Wolf Hall.

"Cromwell...why are you such a....person?"

RIP

Sad, he was a brilliant actor. He was only mentioned on BBC news this morning in a segment about the new series of the Responder that starts tonight. Will now be the last role he ever played. RIP.
