Locky Posted April 6, 2021 Share Posted April 6, 2021 Horrible news. I was mostly familiar with him through Friday Night Dinner. His character is massively underappreciated I think. FND finished last year, and they said they had no plans to make any more for the foreseeable. Wonder if they knew about his brain tumour then.

He actually just finished filming a special 10th anniversary episode due out later this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pablo Posted April 6, 2021 Share Posted April 6, 2021 That's so sad. He was a great actor. The part he played in Chernobyl was magnificent I thought. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I P Knightley Posted April 6, 2021 Share Posted April 6, 2021 I came to FND only recently, courtesy of my kids, and have really enjoyed it - the Martin character particularly. I have to say, I'm surprised that he was younger than me! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
