First saw him in The Fixer, when I was 16 years old. What a extraordinary career -- The Homecoming, Chariots of Fire, Henry V, The Sweet Hereafter...plus so many populist films, from Alien through the Rings movies. Superb actor.
Personal favorite: his touchingly pathetic Dodgson in Dreamchild.

Re: R.I.P. Ian Holm
Just watched him in 1971's Mary, Queen of Scots, which I forgot he was in. I also forgot that Penelope Wilton's other ex-husband, Daniel Massey, was also in it.
