His career also saw him perform alongside comedy and acting legends including Julie Walters, Ben Elton, Hugh Laurie, Stephen Fry, Emma Thompson and Siobhan Redmond.

The 72-year-old was rumored to be in serious health trouble earlier this year after he was forced to pull out of June’s Comic Con in London due to medical reasons.
