Actor. His off-screen persona was equal to that of his on-screen performances: he was a notorious drinker, carouser, womanizer, and brawler. He was also known to have had public disputes with the likes ofBette Davis, Jack Nicholson,Richard Harris andShelley Winters. He is remembered for his role as the brutal 'Bill Sykes' in the award winning 1968 musical "Oliver!" and as the debonair chairman of "The Assassination Bureau." He died during the filming of the Academy Award-winning motion picture "Gladiator" (2000). He had a very humorous view of life and death, and he left almost $20,000 to his favorite pub to cover his post-funeral celebration costs. His body was returned to his favorite Irish village, and he was buried in a spot where there is a full view of his favorite pub.
