David Warner is a better class of villain 

Rest In Peace David Warner

He will be forever the best Irenicus the world has ever seen.

Rest in Power David Warner. One of the greatest character actors and movie villains to ever grace the silver screen. Thank you sir.

As David Warner has now passed away, your video is a precious document and tribute to one of the true greats.

David Warner is one of the most underrated brilliant actors, very memorable but never a household name. Great in all his horror movie appearances. RIP 2022

This reminds of a quote from Christopher Lee: "Every actor is going to be in a bad film; the question is, whether you will be bad in it." I think David Warner and Christopher Lee both tried to give good performances, despite the material. I'm a huge fan of both of them.

RIP David. His work is timeless.

That quote from Malcolm McDowell, an actor who does not give praise lightly, at the end speaks volumes about how highly Warner is regarded by his peers. Another outstanding production, Mr. Scurry.

Here to pay respect to a legendary talent. Thank you for shining a light on this man’s terrific career. He will be missed, but he remains immortal through his stellar body of work.

Rest in Peace, David. You will be missed.

Excellent video, thank you for making it! Rest in Peace David Warner A legend who has been scaring me in one film or another my whole life 💖

R.I.P. David Warner ❤🌹🙏🏽🕯

WHAT A GREAT AND HUMBLE GENTLEMAN ACTOR . A TRUE CLASS ACT . R.I.P.🌹

RIP good sir. One of the absolute best. He will be missed.

What a wonderful tribute to a truly special actor ... I've alway said that if you are of a certain age and you obsessed over Sci-Fi and adventure movies, then it's impossible not to have discovered and fallen in love with Warner. I was born in 1975, and by the early 80s I had started to notice him in movies ... by the end of the 80s he was my absolute favourite actor. I've never had the desire to go to conventions and meet famous people ... It just feels oddly weird to me. But when I heard that Warner was coming to my town to appear at a very small convention, I HAD to go ... He was as warm, friendly and charming as I had hoped he would be in my dreams ... They say never meet your heroes ... but thankfully my hero was David Warner. Just a normal bloke who happened to appear in magical movies.

RIP David Warner

RIP David Warner 😢

Rest peacefully David Warner aka Dr.Necessiter in "The Man With 2 Brains" and Jack the Ripper in "Time After Time".. He died Sunday from a "cancer-related illness," according to BBC News, which cited a statement from his family. He was 80.

Rip David Warner

He was the original choice to play Freddy Krueger!

He also had superb comic timing. Pemberton and Shearsmith knew this and gave him all the best gags in Inside No. 9

A thousand thanks, Bill Scurry, for your tribute and deep, insightful analysis of the sublime David Warner's career. Knowing he suffers from psoriasis makes me admire him all the more and I've been a fan for 40 years. In 2001 I saw Mr. Warner's return to the stage in a Broadway production of George Bernard Shaw's "Major Barbara". He was so courageous to overcome his stage fright after over a 30 year absence from the theatre. His performance of Undershaft was graceful and masterful. He appeared completely at ease onstage with his fellow actors and the audience. It was also a special thrill to hear his beautiful voice live. I met him at the stage door. He was gracious, very friendly and extremely modest. He asked me if I thought the audience understood the sophistication of Shaw's humor? I said indeed we all did and reminded him there was a lot of laughter in his comic scenes. Mr. Warner is a very great, deeply sensitive actor with tremendous range and transparent technique. I wish more people knew about Mr. Warner and appreciated his unique gifts and artistry. Thank you again!

Nooo! I just learned yesterday!!! He was (and still is) one of my top favorite british actor! I will miss him!😢

I found this when they said he died this morning. This is very good thank you. This is a damn good retrospective. I don’t know if you’re in this for $$$ but you have what it takes to monetize. Every other RU-vidr thinks their retrospective offers something, but this is real stuff and entertaining as well. David Warner has always been one of my favorites. And as a 42yo…thank you especially for including the TMNT2:Secret of the Ooze clip.

Thanks for this great summary, sad to hear he is gone. Was one of those actors I grew up with, especially Time Bandits and A Christmas Carol which I must have watched 20+ times each. Then as I got older going back and discovering his other great performances. He will be missed.

Please press F to pay respects to this great, now sadly late, actor 😥😞

One of my Favorite Actors.

Humble actor.

thank you for covering David Warner - i feel like he's so underrated and under-seen

David Warner passed away

I really liked David Warner. God bless you

So much respect for this man. So many roles and he is always great in them.

THE LOBE on Freakazoid! The writers of that show once said their goal was to assemble as many legendary actors as they could get, and feed them the silliest lines they could think of. He was brilliant there. And he was the arch-enemy, of course. A man whose entire head was a giant brain.

Warner is one of my favourite actors, and I loved his performance as Jon irenicus in Baldur's Gate 2! That cemented it for me, I think.

Beautiful video, thank you very much.

Jon Irenicus in Baldur's Gate 2, my favorite video game villain. Thank you Sir David Warner, it has been and honor.

Nicer done Bill. It takes a lot to play Reinhard Heydrich twice, and play the heavy in Titanic. What a career. Great face and always convincing as a performer.

Rest in Peace. Give Lee and Cushing a big hug.....

This is a wonderful retrospective, and after the unfortunate news today I hope others find their way here to remember his life and work. Thank you.

Got linked here via an announcement of his death. I knew I'd miss him but I didn't realize how much. Thank you for this fantastic retrospective. (Would have loved to see more recognition of his voice acting career, though! But I'm biased - I first became aware of him via The Lobe in FREAKAZOID.)

Such a fantastic, insightful analysis about a wonderful actor, and a wonderful person as well. I never thought I can love David Warner more until now. Thank you for this. I wish more people would know him.

His voice was truly iconic remember him from Baldur's Gate 2

Excellent piece Scudders! Got one on Tom Courtney? ;-)

Very sad news….David Warner has passed away today…For me…He is one of the most unappreciated actors Britain has ever produced…RIP

Always good in many different roles he was especially good in The Ballad of Cable Hogue and The Man with Two Brains.

David Warner and Ralph Fiennes could've played the most diabolical brothers in any movie ever... shame they never got the chance!

Well done, Bill, and you are right, David Warner elevates everything that he's in, even My Best Friend is a Vampire.

He will forever be Jack the Ripper to me. RIP.

Just watched chains of command from STNG and he was an awesome cardassian.

Sark, MCP and Ra’s al Ghul all are Warner’s best villain roles

39 steps!! Amazing actor and achievements,would love to meet him!! Such a distinctive voice too 🇬🇧

I can only add here that his work for Big Finish in their Sapphire and Steel audio stories is fantastic and if you're a fan of David they're worth hearing.

RIP

Well said, and humbly expressed.

Another fantastic video. Your channel has been a great find. Keep up the excellent work!

I really enjoyed this profile of his career and early life (I know I’ve commented before sorry).I found common things with him as well!Makes me want to see his early movies in the 70s one as well.He lives on with what he left behind for us.

Wow another great piece. I recognize his face from so many of the movies displayed & really an unsung hero in film but at least highlighted by the brilliance that is William Scurry. This season of AmericanCaesar Salad is even better than the first & that was excellent. Great job my friend. I’ve thoroughly enjoyed these pieces.

IMMMAGINE where we would be now if David Warner had created the world!!!

Few can convey pure menace the way David Warner can. Anyone else delivering it with his intensity would come off as corny.

He would have made an outstanding master in doctor who. He was also brilliant in mad dogs on the small screen

He takes all the roles he can get?.....Well, that explains The Ice-cream man and Beastmaster III. ;P But seriously I love his work, especially as a voice actor. :)

Great job Bill. Young David Warner was cute

Absolutely brilliant analysis

First impression The Omen, great actor RIP

Fantastic stuff and congrats on the 1000 subs!

He will was always be Sark and the MCP to me, RIP.

He was also brilliant in Gargoyles, as the Archmage. A seriously compelling villain (evil sorceror) who was probably a greater threat than any of the many villains who appeared there.

I can only imagine how much work goes into these essays, but should you have the time, I'd love to see you cover Jeffrey Combs.

What are your favorite David Warner roles in live action/voice acting?The ones I've seen I liked him as was Professor Jordan Perry in TMNT(he was good guy once in a while) and voice over Ra's Al Ghul.

This might sound stupid to most people, but in my opinion one of my favorite performances of him was doing the voice acting for Jon Irenius in the video game Baldur's Gate 2 (coincidentally one of the best video games ever made) Although the Star Trek The Next Generation Gul Madred role was also very excellent.

Excellent video. Top-shelf. I hope David Warner likes it. A curious detail in that Tron clip @6:23, Ed Dillinger wrote the text and the performer claims to be superior to the writer. Wonder if that has any parallel with actors and authors.

Imagine David in Star Wars. They would have cast him as a villain, of course.

He looks so much like Patrick Troughton ( 2nd Doctor Who).

Jon Irenicus Voice

Always used to confuse this guy with Alan Rickman.

I cannot believe he is gone.... underated actor to be honest! I loved the fact his said that his ex wife got the head after he got a divorce!

I HAVE ROSACEA!!! OMG! it's all over my face, and my skin is so tender..(I can't even think about MY SKIN.. it's that bad. WILL NOT LITERALLY..But you gets what I mean XD) Even treatments will make me break out! That is how tender my skin! And makeup makes it worst, why at 33 still never wear it(rarely!) Maybe lipsgloss or tinted chapstick for winter months but that is it. Sometimes it's tamed than other days. SO OMG! THIS MAKES ME LOVE HIM MORE!

My first impression of David Warner was titanic

David would have been a great villain or tragic character in Lord of the Rings.

I come here to leave a comment.
