Sir Ian Holm was an English actor who was most memorable for his roles as Bilbo in the Lord of the Rings, Napoleon in Time Bandits and the robot, Ash, in Alien. He was 89.



Another legendary actor gone.

Hang around for a few more years and you'll see another dozen go. That principal from the Breakfast Club died too. And that lady from the Night Court.

"Alexander the Great, five feet eight exactly. Isn't that incredible! I mean, Alexander the Great, who's empire stretched from India to Hungary, one inch shorter than me. Oliver Cromwell, the only man with any guts in British history, wasn't a big man at all. Louis XIV, five foot two and a half. Charlamagne, dopey little five footer! He's a good little chum. Attila the Hun, five foot one half. Cyrano de Bergerac, five foot three half. Tamburlaine the Great, four foot nine - and three-quarters."

He was good in The Sweet Hereafter, which is underrated as both a movie and a novel.

NICK MADRIGAL!!!! His empire stretches from 2nd base to 3/4 of the way to 1st.
