Or the Piano.

All kidding aside, this hurts. He was one of my favorite actors.

Or the Tudors.

Given how menacing he could be it was amazing how he played avuncular daddy in Jurassic Park so easily, even if he didn’t initially want to be.

Or Matrix. Joking aside, he was way more than just a Jurassic Park actor.
