I just received word that Edward Woodward--best known to us as The Equalizer, but always revered by me as the not-really-protaganist of one of my favorite films, The Wicker Man, passed on today after a long silence.
A moment of silence, please.

It was probably a minor role for him, but Woodward played the Ghost of Christmas Present in my favorite film version of A Christmas Carol, the 1984 version with George C. Scott. Woodward was also in Hot Fuzz, which might have been his last film role.
According to an obituary I read, Woodward as personally asked by Laurence Olivier to join the National Theater.

Plus he starred in one of my all-time favorte films Breaker Morant. And The Equalizer was a real good NY show.
