Answer 3

I was not familiar with him as much as the rest of the world being somewhat removed from movies and theater, but I knew he looked familiar and finally discovered that he played Dr. Lazarus / Alexander Dane in the movie Galaxy Quest, one of the funniest movies in my opinion. "Good night, sweet prince, and flights of angels sing thee to thy rest."

Yes he did , You must try and get hold of "The Barchester Chronicles" it is stunningly brilliant . Thank you Michael. - ray76, Jan 15, 2016

I have seen him many times in various movies, including Robin Hood Prince of Thieves, and never knew who he was. I guess I can't cover everything, but I try to keep up. (Big sigh)

I can see now that he could play any part, serious or funny or whatever. Here is a picture of his "whatever." I love it.
