I really liked his acting.

I just saw "The Town" over the holidays. He had a small role, but played it well.

I remember him in Brassed Off.

Didn't recognize the name, but I sure remember him as an actor. I hope he lived well and left many friends.

Seemed like a good guy. He was good in Dragonheart, a somewhat odd film:

Sharpe's Rifles
 

He played the Psycho Soldieer so well. The first time I saw him.

I later saw him on the boards in the West end of London and really began to be a fan (like Brian Cox and Alan Rickman who I have seen here in NYC).

God always takes the good one first....which is why some actors just never die.

He was fantastic in "In the name of the father" with Daniel Day Lewis. I also loved him as Kobayashi in "The Usual Suspects".
