A lovely man and a joy to work with on several projects in the 80's including A Captains Tale a local film about the very first World Cup!

I had the great pleasure of seeing him on the London stage a few years back. He co-starred with John Hurt as a shell-shocked veteran in a nursing home. Great performances, great play.

 

[Cosimo Bullo]

Rest in peace.

Griffiths and Hurt would have been great to see together. What was the play? Funny, I was only posting about John Hurt in this forum recently.

Btw, Irish actor Milo O' Shea passed away yesterday too. So RIP Milo too:
