David Warner Passes Away
Yeah. Chancellor Gorkon is in Sto'Vo'Kor. Gul Madred is in...wherever they go.
Actor David Warner passes away aged 80
He had a good run, and a remarkable career. It's probably not his best-known work but I remember him best as Captain James Sawyer from the "mutiny/Retribution" Hornblower films.

Re: David Warner Passes Away
He's seemed old for as long as I've known about him.
Yeah, Hornblower was a good one. As was Ra's Al Ghul in the DCAU as well, always a great performance.

Him as Madred vs Stewart as Picard in "Chain of Command" was a sheer delight, despite the grim subject matter.

Re: David Warner Passes Away
Truly unfortunate. He had a presence that commanded attention.
I have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the Negro's great stumbling block in his stride toward freedom is not the White Citizen's Counciler or the Ku Klux Klanner, but the white moderate, who is more devoted to "order" than to justice; who constantly says: "I agree with you in the goal you seek, but I cannot agree with your methods of direct action"; who paternalistically believes he can set the timetable for another man's freedom; who lives by a mythical concept of time and who constantly advises the Negro to wait for a "more convenient season."

Re: David Warner Passes Away
Thanks to Eternal Freedom for Mentioning 'Chains of Command' until that I had no recollection of who Gul Madred was. The only Cardassians I really remember are Garak and Gul Dukat.

'Hey, we both have a Martian's phone number on our speed dial. I think I deserve the benefit of the doubt.'

Re: David Warner Passes Away
Gul Madred is nice showing of David Warner's talent though since it's role could have easily fallen flat in the hands of a less talented actor, since Madred has to seem almost reasonable even though he's torturing Picard and is indeed the villain of the piece.

Re: David Warner Passes Away
Let's not forget he's also played Bob Cratchet.
The number of roles he's played is too many to count or mention.

Re: David Warner Passes Away
Most recently I've heard him as the alternative Third Doctor in some of the Big Finish audio series. I was very surprised to find out that he was apparently in a relationship with his co-star / companion from that series.
Re: David Warner Passes Away
A shame. He was a great actor and a man of class
Re: David Warner Passes Away
He's definitely left a huge legacy of stand-out roles.

Nitram: You -are- beautiful. Anyone tries to tell you otherwise kill them.

Re: David Warner Passes Away
I think I remember him best as Jack the Ripper in Time After Time and Dillinger/Sark/MCP in Tron, but he popped up so many times in other movies and TV shows that I can't even keep track of them all. A magnificent character actor.
Re: David Warner Passes Away
Seems the actress who played Uhura just died, too.
RIP

Now I did a job. I got nothing but trouble since I did it, not to mention more than a few unkind words as regard to my character so let me make this abundantly clear. I do the job.
