Freddie Jones, Wild At Heart

Give the old rogue a knighthood, I say!

I agree with all that's been said. There is a terrifying tendency towards bland homogenity in the arts - especially acting and rock music - and characters like Freddie are a reminder of a better world and time. Even doctor Who no longer employs eccentric larger-than-life actors but bland mannequins these days. Some of us like a large helping of ham with our actors.

He did a couple of Hammer films Frankenstein Must Be Destroyed as the sympathetic creation of Peter Cushing and the twitchy servant of Dracula In The Satanic Rites Of Dracula. He was brilliant in both. A truly underrated actor.

I love Freddie Jones. His performance as Bytes in The Elephant Man is probably one of the most complex, guilt-ridden and devious performances by any actor ever. Absolutely stunning. And wherever he shows up he steals the show with his twitchy, intense acting. For instance, he's the only highlight in Firefox:-)

dude. It's called a period. You only need one of them. get to know it. the ellipsis is not your friend.
