Veteran British actor, Bernard Hill, celebrated for his iconic roles in blockbusters such as ‘Titanic’ and ‘Lord of the Rings’, has died at the age of 79.
His agent, Lou Coulson, confirmed Hill’s passing, revealing that he passed away on Sunday morning in the presence of his fiancée Alison and his son Gabriel.
Hill first gained prominence with his role in the 1982 BBC TV drama ‘Boys from the Blackstuff’, but it was his performances as Captain Edward Smith in the 1997 Oscar-winning film ‘Titanic’ and King Théoden in the ‘Lord of the Rings’ trilogy that propelled him to international fame.
