Death of Ian Richardson

The news that Ian Richardson has passed away is very sad news indeed as he was a brilliant actor. I was an avid fan of the House of Cards and the follow up series To Play he King and The Final Cut in which he played the role of Francis Urqhart the Chief Whip who rose to be Prime Minister. Each series was both enthralling and brilliant political thrillers with twist and turns along the way, OK the storyline was slightly OTT but it added to the suspense and manoeuvres of Urqhart as Prime Minister.

The phrase "You make think that, I couldn't possibly comment" will forever be associated with Ian Richardson and his passing is a great loss to the world of acting.
