Donald Pleasence is so versatile; one of my all-time favorite actors.
I thought he was excellent as Colin in The Great Escape, and his role in the Twilight Zone episode "Changing of the Guard" was very touching.
He was terrific as a villian/antagonist. I thought he was great in Fantastic Voyage, and in Part Three of Centennial.
Fantastic actor, very much missed. -

Ooh, good choice. He scared the crap out of me in "Wake in Fright" too. I also particularly like his performance as the police inspector in the great little 70s Brit horror movie "Death Line" - otherwise known as "Raw Meat" to the Americans out there. Pleasence added a touch of class to everything he did - which is just as well, given some of the terrible trash he appeared in.

I found his portrayal of Heinrich Himmler in
The 5b4Eagle Has Landed
to be perhaps the most chilling Himmler portrayal ever. Like a pleasant (no pun intended) little administrator, but absolutely cold-blooded at the core. -

Wake in Fright is a superb performance.
