Tony Slattery: Whose Line Is It Anyway? comedian and actor dies aged 65

Sir Stephen Fry pays tribute to the actor and comedian well known for Whose Line Is It Anyway?

www.bbc.co.uk

Was funny in his day, but was shunned by TV due to addictions - still a bit of a shock though, grew up watching some of his stuff.

No way. I grew up watching him on that show, too. Damn. None of us are immune to the reaper sadly

Cocaine abuse and heavy drinking take no prisoners.

RIP

He seemed to be all over the place in the 80s and 90s.

But in recent times he seemed to be a recluse.

65 is no age to pass.

RIP

Keith Richards begs to differ.

I often wondered what happened to him and was really shocked when he re-emerged a while back and told his story - I'm glad he got to see how much love for him there was before he died

Yes, I read that he’d had mental issues and had episodes where he was throwing furniture into the Thames from his apartment window.

Shame, he was very popular back in the 80s & was absolutely everywhere, though you never felt he was over exposed like our present day celebs; Paddy Mc Guinness, e.g.

RIP Tony Slattery.

I am shocked to read he passed away, I remembered watched him on Whose Line Is It Anyway?, Saturday Night At The Movies and Kingdom. I watched 2 series of Kingdom but missed series 3, I managed to found all 3 series of Kingdom free to watch on u.co.uk. Holy crap Tony aged badly at 65, I didnt recognised him at all compared to his last appearances in Kingdom in 2007 and 2008.

I don't know I've heard his name in the last 30 years, but still sad to hear this news. WLIIA was one of my favourite shows as a young lad.
