Unfortunately, I was not a longtime fan of his, in fact I didn't pay that much attention to him until his untimely death in January '08. I am ashamed to admit this because I had no idea what an amazing person and actor he was until after he was no longer on this earth. The only thing I had really seen him in previously was A Knight's Tale, and I only watched it because I love Paul Bettany. I had thought at the time that he was cute and enjoyed his acting, but was more focused on PB. Needless to say I have tried to watch most of his movies and he brings so many different qualities to each character & performance. He was truly a gift from God and will be greatly missed by me, as well as so many others.
For all who need comfort for all those who mourn
all those whom we cherished will be reborn
All those whom we love but see no more
they are not perished but gone before
And Lord keep them safe in your embrace
and fill their souls with your good grace
for now they see you face to face
where they rest in peace - and rise in glory~ By Robert Prizeman
