On the opposite end of the scale that had Anna Nicole Smith at one end, was the actor Ian Richardson. That statement is true no matter what the scale was measuring – acting ability, class, style, breast size .. anything you like.
Ian Richardson played the spectacularly awesome Sir Francis Urquhart in “House of Cards”, “To Play the King” and “The Final Cut”.
He was found dead today in his London home.
If you’ve never seen these three miniseries, I HIGHLY recommend that you do so as soon as possible.

Oh God yes. That would have been a superb bit of casting.

Only the voice.
Also, of all the books they could have made into a stand-alone live-action miniseries, they chose _Hogfather_?

We’ve got Soul Music and Wyrd Sisters on vid (the animated series).
