"If this is going to be a Christian nation that doesn't help the poor, either we have to pretend that Jesus was just as selfish as we are, or we've got to acknowledge that He commanded us to love the poor and serve the needy without condition and then admit that we just don't want to do it." -Stephen Colbert

Wow, so sad. Condolences to all that knew him.
Rest in Peace.

I was lucky enough and very excited to have the chance to see him in EQUUS with Daniel Radcliff.
Rest in Peace

Posted: 3/29/13 at 10:20amHe pulled off the nearly impossible: making a would-be pederast likable and sympathetic in THE HISTORY BOYS. I will never forget that towering performance nor his angst-ridden Dysart in EQUUS. May he rest in peace.

Posted: 3/29/13 at 1:28pmI saw him in The Sunshine Boys with Danny DeVito in London last year - they made an unlikely but terrific team. I know there were plans to bring the show to the US. What a shame. RIP, a wonderful actor.

Richard Griffiths' THE HISTORY BOYS co-star, Jamie Parker, wrote a very moving tribute to him.
