jambo89 Posted October 31, 2020 Posted October 31, 2020 Has to be Scotland’s most recognisable actors. RIP Quote
neilnunb Posted October 31, 2020 Posted October 31, 2020 Sleep well, Indy's dad. 😥 Mind you, Zardoz is probably the worst movie I've ever seen. 😀 Quote
Jambo-Jimbo Posted October 31, 2020 Posted October 31, 2020 Watched him in a Bridge to Far yesterday. Wonderful actor. RIP Quote
Class of 75 Posted October 31, 2020 Posted October 31, 2020 So sad. Best Bond in my opinion. Lived upstairs from my granny in Fountain Bridge. RIP Quote
luckyBatistuta Posted October 31, 2020 Posted October 31, 2020 Enjoyed him in The Man Who Would Be King, but was never really a fan of him as an actor. That said, I was gutted when I heard this news. The Edinburgh lad done well. A sad day RIP big man Quote
weegranty Posted October 31, 2020 Posted October 31, 2020 The man that would be king was my favourite role he played in. Quote
Hømme Posted October 31, 2020 Posted October 31, 2020 A true legend of British and Worldwide cinema. RIP Quote
davemclaren Posted October 31, 2020 Posted October 31, 2020 Ex Bonnyrigg Rose player as well. Possibly the most iconic Scottish actor of all. Quote

felix Posted October 31, 2020 Posted October 31, 2020 Just read his obituary. Never realised Matt Busby offered him a contract at Man U. A man of many talents. Quote
Hairdryer Posted October 31, 2020 Posted October 31, 2020 RIP Sean one of the best Scots of all time. Quote
Cade Posted October 31, 2020 Posted October 31, 2020 "How did you know she was German?!" "She talks in her sleep" Quote
alwaysthereinspirit Posted October 31, 2020 Posted October 31, 2020 2020 really needs to GTF. RIP. Quote
gashauskis9 Posted October 31, 2020 Posted October 31, 2020 “Hibs always whine about their best. Hearts go home and **** the prom queen!” RIP Sir Sean Quote
ri Alban Posted October 31, 2020 Author Posted October 31, 2020 The Hill was imo probably his finest hour. Immense. Gutted. Quote
indianajones Posted October 31, 2020 Posted October 31, 2020 Good age. RIP to the best Bond there will ever be. Quote
XB52 Posted October 31, 2020 Posted October 31, 2020 Hope this is the end of the bad news for today. What a standard bearer for Scotland he was Quote
Ritchez Posted October 31, 2020 Posted October 31, 2020 Great actor. Reminder though that he thought it was a man's right to slap his wife if she "deserved it". Quote
PortyJambo Posted October 31, 2020 Posted October 31, 2020 Great actor and a good age to live to. I loved his Bond films when I was growing up, but the first non-Bond film of his that I remember watching was The Hill, and he was tremendous in that. Proved that he was a great actor who could take on more challenging roles. The documentary that was shown recently on BBC Scotland was a fantastic watch, and I expect it will be getting a re-airing soon. RIP Quote
Sharpie Posted October 31, 2020 Posted October 31, 2020 First heard of him when he was part of a group that ruled the old Palais, and my sister talked about them. My wife and I saw him in Princes Street right at Woolworths he was getting started in the acting, he had on an old pair of shoes that were cut down the back as if they were actually too small for him. He worked for the Store at one point. Later having achieved a modicum of fame he was at Niddrie to open a facility. He had delivered milk there apparently, nd Willie the wee guy who seemed to have been the Niddrie milkman for years made some comment like do you remember me Sean, and he replied no but I remember the suit. He done well for a laddie from Grove Street he had a good run but in a way I am sorry he has gone, on reflection it seems he has always been part of life fo me. Quote
Norm Posted October 31, 2020 Posted October 31, 2020 Ernie might've been the fastest milkman in the West but going by the number of folk who say he was their milkman, Sean must have had the biggest ****ing delivery run in the East. Quote
Maple Leaf Posted October 31, 2020 Posted October 31, 2020 Very sad news. A great actor and a great Scot, widely admired everywhere. May we all live to be 90 and enjoy the success that he did. Quote
JJ93 Posted October 31, 2020 Posted October 31, 2020 So sad. I cried earlier about it. He was a real man unlike the woke pussies in Hollywood today. He deserves a statue. What a man. Quote

RIP I always felt it was a shame that a lot of people seem incapable of seeing beyond Bond. The Offence which also starred Ian Bannen is a tremendous film where he got to properly show he was a proper actor. Quote

JJ93 Posted October 31, 2020 Posted October 31, 2020 Did he support Hearts btw? I think he must have being brought up in Fountainbridge. Quote

Aye, he was the equivalent of where j k Rowling wrote her Harry Potter books. Quote
Norm Posted October 31, 2020 Posted October 31, 2020 Think I'll watch a triple bill of his greatest movies. Entrapment, League of Extraordinary Gentleman with Medicine Man to top it off. Epic. Quote
JJ93 Posted October 31, 2020 Posted October 31, 2020 All of his movies are great, including Marnie. If you haven't watched it you should. So gutted by this but he did live to a good age and what a life. What a man. Iconic doesn't even cover it. I will be only drinking vodka martinis tonight - shaken, not stirred. If I had met him, it would have been like meeting god himself. What a man. Quote

scott herbertson Posted October 31, 2020 Posted October 31, 2020 Our grannie was pals with her mum (Effie IIRC) and I used to play at their feet at the Tolcross Bowling Club and at the cafe at the top of Goldbergs, back in the mid 60s. Don't think he was a Hearts man or my grandad would have probably said something (he was in the local supporters club) Quote
manaliveits105 Posted October 31, 2020 Posted October 31, 2020 Legend - rip was born in 176 Fountainbridge (plaque on new building now) and not sure if that was an alley to tenements where Asa Wass - rag skin and metal merchants were - people used to take old clothes there for cash - our mother used to take my brother and I but they wouldnt buy us Fountainbridge known for its smells with the rubber mill and 2 breweries Thought Sean was a bit seltiky until his pal Murray got him along to Ibrox - he certainly took interest in the international team Quote
Harry Potter Posted October 31, 2020 Posted October 31, 2020 Sad news indeed, RIP Sean , i loved all your films Sir. Quote
Shanks said no Posted October 31, 2020 Posted October 31, 2020 Really sad one and a great son of Edinburgh. My old man knew him from Fountainbridge and from when Sean was a doorman at the Palais de Danse RIP Sir Sean Quote
