Nice tribute, Simon. I'm happy to link this my own tribute to DS. He also steals the show in a wonderful film called "Little Murders". On a personal note, his face at the end of Invasion of the Body Snatchers chilled me to the bone, I think partly because I was so invested in his character. A seminal moment in my love of cinema.

An outstanding actor with a lifetime of excellent roles. Watched him most recently in The Burnt Orange Heresy which I loved

I hate to say this Simon- so close to your short story- but the memory fixed in my head is Donald Sutherland’s character killing a cat in the film 1900. (1976)

Can’t say he was a favourite as I always found him to be a disturbing presence - which I’m sure was what he and his directors were after. Loved him in the Cloudbusting video however. Thanks for including it.
