The first role I saw him in was as Mr. Kurtzmann in Brazil. A movie inspired by George Orwell’s 1984. If anyone hasn’t watched it yet, I highly recommend it.

He was one of the best parts about FOTR and, in my opinion, brought Bilbo to life. Rest In Peace.

I relistened to the 1981 BBC radio adaptation of The Lord of the Rings a few weeks ago and his performance as Frodo was just as good as I remembered.

My favorite role of his, I think, was as Sam Mussabini in Chariots of Fire. That one earned him a BAFTA and an Oscar nomination

Lord of the Rings, Alien, The Madness of King George III, Time Bandits, The Fifth Element, Chariots of Fire, Brazil....such a wide range of roles for a splendid actor.
