RIP Michael Gough (Alfred in Batman)

[Flying Spaghetti Monster]

He was so good in the role that i thought he'd be irreplaceable in the new films. Of course, Caine is fantastic in the role, and played a different kind of Alfred, but for a long time, this guy really personified the character.

Yes, he was great in that role, as you say, a totally different take than Caine but no less watchable. He also had a diverse and impressive pre-Batman career, from Hammer Horror movies, to UK tv to the likes of Top Secret.

RIP, a long and distinguished life and career.

 

[Greg Cox]

Sad to hear it. Among other roles, he also played Arthur Holmwood in THE HORROR OF DRACULA with Peter Cushing and Christopher Lee. And had a memorable cameo (as a corpse!) in THE LEGEND OF HELL HOUSE.

We'll just forget about KONGA . . ..

 

[The Nth Doctor]

But let's not forget his roles on Doctor Who: The Celestial Toymaker and Hedin in The Celestial Toymaker and The Arc of Infinity, respectively.

Rest in peace, Michael.
