    When I saw this I thought you meant Charles Bronson. I know he died last year but that doesn't mean anything with Hollywood stars. They had to cremate Frank Sinatra six times before he stopped making comebacks.

      I had the great pleasure of meeting Michael Sheard at a gaming convention in Harlow several years ago. It wasn't a large gathering, and there was very little Star Wars stuff there, but like a loyal trooper, he was there, signing books and meeting his fans.

      I met him in the bar, between his book signing breaks in the hall.

      Impeccably polite, witty and humourous, and grateful for the ale I bought him.
      We engaged in small talk really, I was a little overwhelmed to ask him about acting and his career. But Michael sensed this and said "What do you want to know...Boy ?" in that Mr. Bronson sort of way. An immediate ice-breaker which lifted the mood and from that we chatted for a few more ales and he recanted several ace stories. Had me in stitches all night !

      A truly warm and genuine actor, who made time for his fans. One of his most famous quotes, paraphrased, was "Without fans, I am nothing". Humility and humbleness are great virtues indeed and so little seen today.

      ps...Michael...I do believe the next round is most definitely yours.....
      Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.
