Didn't see him in much, but I really enjoyed his performance in Evelyn. 69's too damn young.

He was (and still is) my favorite Claudius in Hamlet (early 1990's).

I always liked his small-ish role in The Mothman Prophecies. A sad loss indeed.

His role in "Far From the Madding Crowd" will always be memorable for me. That film is a favorite of mine, probably more to do with Julie Christie's beauty than anything else. Of course, the cinematography, acting and musical score also had something to do with my fondness for that film. He will be missed, I always enjoyed his performances. I can't wait for Zorba the Greek to be release on dvd too.
