The first time I really sat up and took notice of him and his fantastic acting was when he played a delightfully machiavellian prime minister in House of Cards. Since then I noticed him again and again giving great performances with one of the best voices in the acting ranks. Ian Richardson played roles in many genre films such as Jonathan Pryce's boss, Mr. Warren, in Brazil, Simon de Canterville in The Canterville Ghost, one of the main antagonists in Dark City, Lord Sepulchrave Groan in Gormenghast, and the voice of Death and the narrator in the recent Hogfather.
And he was excellent in so many other movies and shows besides that; "Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy", "Murder Rooms", The Sign of Four, and the sequels to House of Cards to name a few. I'm sad that he's gone. Ian Richardson 1934-2007.
