    RIP. A good actor who was starting to get more prominent roles. Some other reports I have read have stated that his death was caused by a drugs overdose.

    Hadn't realised that he had drug addiction issues. Great actor; one of my favourites. Young family too. Gutted. Makes losing to Wigan less meaningful than it felt yesterday.

    Wow, that's terrible. I know he did some great stuff, but for me he'll always be Dusty in Twister.
    RIP

    RIP. Was a wonderful actor that was brilliant in every film he was in.

    Horrible to hear about the circumstances, drug addiction can happen to anyone. Thoughts go out to his partner and children.

    He put in some quality performances. Such a sad loss of a very talented actor. Excellent in 'Happiness'.

    RIP.

    Have to be honest, I didn't have a clue who this was til I Googled him. Recognised him straight away, so for me he'll always be the Count in The Boat That Rocked.

    46. No age. Shocked. Found with needle in arm apparently. 3 kids youngest born in 2008. Sad news. Wasted talent. Most recently seen in Doubt.

    Only 46, wow. Great actor. Think the last film I saw him in was Charlie Wilsons War. Have got The Master on Blu Ray but yet to get round to watching it.
