Roger Lloyd-Pack 1944 - 2014

Roger Lloyd-Pack has died. Roger will be long remembered for several of his well-known roles. From Trigger in Only Fools and Horses to Owen Newitt in Vicar of Dibley to Tom in The Old Guys and dozens of roles in shorter series and guest appearances. He was most recently featured in a series of The Borgias. Even the BBC story linked below mentions his first television appearance (uncredited and without dialogue) in 1965 in an episode of The Avengers, but I don't think that was Roger. Looks like a much older and heavier man, closer to how he looked above in last year's Vicar of Dibley Comic Relief special, than how he looked a few years later when he appeared in Virgin of the Secret Service, still boyish and thin. You be the judge.
