    From a cancer related illness.

    I’ll always remember him best for his audio work, particularly as the Unbound Doctor in Big Finish’s Doctor Who audio dramas.
    What do you remember him for?

    watched him in so many movies when i was a kid and growing up.
    So sad that cancer had to take him..
    May he rest in eternal peace...

    Farewell to a great actor... and a noble Chancellor.

    Yeah he was really old IIRC but still a great actor and his skill will be missed.

    The man was just in so many films and television. Steady presence in performances that entertained me. Time Bandits. TRON. Doctor Who audio stories. Trek and more Trek.

    Big Finish have a very interesting write-up of him on their site: https://www.bigfinish.com/news/v/david-warner-1941-2022

    I'm particularly drawn to the closing comments from Jason Haigh-Ellery:
    "I tried endlessly to talk David into doing a proper retrospective interview about his life and work – but he didn’t think he was important enough."

    Alas, an opportunity sadly missed - he was definitely important enough!

    Speaking of the Doctor Who audio's, just remembered, there are still two to be released.
    One this month, recorded with his Partner Lisa Bowerman and one next year for the 60th anniversary, recorded with Christopher Ecclestone.
