R.I.P., David. Thank you for TRON, The Omen, Titanic, Frankenstein, Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country, Doctor Who Unbound and all your great work throughout your very special career.
Loved him in Tron. Not a great movie but he was so good in it. Beaten by his own creation, like some 8-bit Frankenstein.
He was a much better sci-fi villain in Time Bandits.
