Thought he was great in The Patriot and A Knights Tale.

Just heard it mentioned prior to Film 2008

He was superb in A Knights Tale, although Paul Bethany stole the film

Who??

Never heard of him. Hardly a significant actor. Then again with that name it is hardly surprising.

Why bother posting Tim?

Your post comes across as disrespectful

Because I heard it on the news tonight and thought Who?.

Yes he would have had a family who will quite rightly morn him. But hardly a loss to his profession, no James Dean and what might have been.

A man who was revered as a 'celebrity' just as much for what he did off the screen as what he did on it. Not the best example if we're picking someone who was irreplaceable to their profession for their acting alone?

Besides, just because you haven't heard or seen of him doesn't mean he wasn't a pretty big name. He's been in some very high profile stuff in lead roles so he wasn't a non-entity.

Ah, but then again, I don't want to cross the acting guru, if you haven't heard of him Tim then he can't be as significant as I thought, silly me

i know this is a bit odd but the bbc website linked says this:

"He won an Oscar nomination for his role as a gay cowboy in the film but the award went to Philip Seymour Hoffman for his role as Truman Capote."

Surely that should be he was nominated for an oscar no won? i would have thought the bbc site would be slightly better written than that.

At the end of the day he was a pretty good actor and its a shame.
