Died last night. Only 58. Fantastic actor.

RIP - every time the superb 1978 version of Death on the Nile is shown I always get drawn into watching it and he is great in that.

Married to Susan George, wasn't he? Saw him in New Tricks only last week.

The Riddle of the Sands, I, Claudius, Manimal, Casualty, Jaws 3-D, Dynasty, The Dukes of Hazzard...

Quite a varied career! Shame it's been cut short...

I Loved this man - what a fantastic actor - only reason I ever watched Casualty.

This is so sad - I am totally sad and never even knew him. One of my favourite TV actors of all time.

58 is such a young age and I feel so sorry for those who knew him and his family. They must be devastated even if they had 4 years to prepare.

Rest in Peace Simon - and thank you for all the joy you have brought us in you life and career.

Only a few weeks ago, he appeared in a British horror film caled 13 hrs a very good actor, its a pity that his movie career never really took off.

I feel sorry for his wife Susan George, who one of the best and most beautiful actresses of the late 60's and 70's.
