"Veteran stage and film actor Sir Ian Holm, who played Bilbo Baggins in The Lord of the Rings films, has died at the age of 88."

Quite the year this is turning out to be.

RIP Ash and Bilbo. You will be sorely missed.

No, he was "eleventy one".

He was Ash, the homicidal android in Alien?

I was thinking Bruce Campbell's character from the Evil Dead franchise.

For some reason, I cannot get the part where he tries to jam the rolled up magazine into Ripley's mouth out of my head. It always messes with me. I can't figure out where that part came from.

a reply to: ketsuko

I still don't understand why they even had magazines in the future.

It's the same thing I think about Picard's bald head. Why?

a reply to: AugustusMasonicus

Sisko was bald too.

I have less trouble with bald. Fashion choice.

a reply to: ketsuko

It's an odd choice, as a dude the only thing I want bald is my back.

I think Ridley Scott said it had some sexual undertones, and how machines/androids would handle such things. That nude poster in the background during that scene isn't there by mistake.

I loved his character of Ash in the Alien movie.

In the future we will all be bald!!

H.R. Geiger's creature is absolutely sexual, so it wouldn't surprise me. I never connected it with sex though, not consciously if I did. It just seemed ... WTF? You're an android and you can't think of a better way to kill her?!

Yes, that age seems appropriate..

And liked less than half of us half as well as he should or ... something.

Classically trained, had to stop performing theater in '76 due to acute stage fright.

Very good actor and will be missed

He was the priest in 5th Element...

Another one of my favorites.

Great in "The Fifth Element". 👍
