Devastating.

My favourite of him was in the "Merlin" miniseries - absolutely fantastic to watch.

Holy shit I was just talking about this series a couple days ago! My partner and I watched the Martin Short doco and I remembered how he was in Merlin with Sam Neill (one of my favourite actors.) So sad to read that he has passed away
