Tim Piggot Smith RIP

[Jan McNulty]

I'm very sad to hear that actor Tim Pigott Smith has passed away.  Although I never had the privilege of seeing him on stage he lit up the screen in whatever he was in.

 

Condolences to his family and friend at this very sad time.

My first sighting of this fine actor was  as Henry Percy aka Harry Hotspur back in the late 70s, when the Beeb did that terrific run of Shakespearean plays. We had Richard ll, Henry lV parts one and two and Henry V. They were so well done and had so many good actors, I was finally inspired to read and understand Henry V properly for my O levels, rather than just trying to memorise large tracts of quotes to fill up the essays. There are certain actors and actresses I thank for inspiring me to read behind the lines as it were and Tim Pigott Smith is one. RIP.
