"Actor Ian Richardson, best known for his role as scheming chief whip Francis Urquhart in the BBC's House of Cards, has died suddenly at the age of 72.
The stage and TV veteran had not been ill and had been due to begin filming an episode of ITV's Midsomer Murders next week, according to his agent.

Thank God someone started this thread.
He has the distinction of being the only celeb I have ever written a fan letter to (via the BBC during "House Of Cards") - much to my surprise I received a hand written reply from the man himself. I was also fortunate to see him last year in "The Creeper" in London.
I miss him already

Hogfather at Chrimbo.

He made a good Sherlock Holmes, and I thoroughly enjoyed him as Arthur Conan Doyle's mentor in 'Murder Rooms'.
And anyone remember his turn as the creepy Canon Black in
'Strange'?

"The Gravy Train"?

This is a sad loss. He was also great as Godber Evans in Porterhouse Blue.
