David Warner dead at 80


I remember him from Tron, Time Bandits, and a handful of Star Trek movies. Brilliant actor.

Re: David Warner dead at 80

I remember him mostly from Titanic but looking through his filmography, he was in a lot of good stuff over the years.

RIP

He was in one of my favorite movies The Ballad Of Cable Hogue. I enjoyed seeing him pop up in things. R.I.P.

Re: David Warner dead at 80

He played a great Jack the Ripper (opposite Malcolm McDowell's H.G. Wells) in Time After Time.

A great scene (where Wells confronts "Jack" for the first time in the present) ... and sadly what "Jack" says is even more true today than it was in 1979:

Re: David Warner dead at 80

Amazing actor. My guess (my hope!) is he was one of those incredibly charming and kind people who ended up playing sinister villains really well. Although my hunch is a good portion of my generation remembers him best as the helpful scientist from Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles II: The Secret of the Ooze. They never did follow up on where he went with that last canister, though, did they?

End of line.

Re: David Warner dead at 80

Such a great actor. Honestly, I thought he was closer to his mid 80's. He looked a lot older than his age 30 years ago!

But, yeah, a fantastic actor. Not a household name, but someone a lot of people recognize. And his voice is pretty identifiable, too!

In From Beyond The Grave he's the guy who buys the painted over mirror from Peter Cushing's antique shop.

Re: David Warner dead at 80

I've been a big David Warner for some years now so it's sad to hear of his passing. One of the earliest memories I have of him was his role as Sark in Tron, which I caught during its initial theatrical run. Oddly, in terms of his work in Star Trek, I always associate him with Chancellor Gorkon in ST VI even though he had a much meatier role as the interrogator/torturer in the 'Chain of Command' two-parter from TNG. He had a magnificent voice which he put to great use in quite a few Doctor Who audio dramas, and he always made them better.

RIP Mr. Warner.

Oh, I've been dreading this day for a while. So many great roles and performances.

I had actually forgotten that he was the interrogator. I definitely remember him for Gorkon too. It's sad that both he and General Chang have left us now.

He was also Cratchit in one of my favorite adaptations of A Christmas Carol, with George C Scott.

Re: David Warner dead at 80

I loved his voice. He was great in Batman the animated series! But I did hate him in titanic, so he did a great job in it.

David Warner has passed away

I liked him in many roles especially Star Trek 6 The Undiscovered Country.

Wasn't he in the original Omen movie?

He had a unique voice.
