Such very sad news. Oddly, I had just recognized Ian Holm in a movie I saw last night, The Aviator.

This guy gave us so many incredible characters. Sure,the elder Bilbo, but also the crazed priest in Fifth Element, the Italian restaurateur in Big Night, King John in Robin and Marion. He gave us all so many gifts. I shall miss his soul on he big screen.

I think I first encountered Holm as Ash, the treacherous science officer in Alien. Another role of his I recall was Game, Set, and Match, a spy serial on television based on a trilogy by Len Deighton. He was a marvelous actor in anything, in my experience.

Excellent actor. He often played emotionally cold characters and villains (Napoleon, Himmler, Polonius) on the big screen and the small screen. A great Shakespearean too, he will be missed.
