"I have died in so many spectacular ways, and I remember shooting them all, too.
I imagine all those deaths will flash in front of me when I’m on my death bed, faced with the real thing."

John Hurt and Pete Postlethwaite two of my fav actors.

Both had amazing voices making their already intriguing characters that more interesting. Though not English, I just heard recently actor Miguel Ferrer passed this January 19 which unfortunately is also the birthday of a close friend.

I didn't recognise the name but I certainly remember the face,Robocop and Hotshots Part deux.

Alien, he was the one whose chest burst open.

He was the good guy in The Elephant Man & Contact and the baddie in 1984 & V for Vendetta.  I'll watch the Oscars to see him during the In Memoriam this year.

I remember him most as Olivander though...even had a minifig.

I remember him best as the storyteller, something he certainly did very well indeed.
