I’ve enjoyed his work over many years. He has an amazing talent for comedy but perhaps my favourite role from Williams was in the very dark 2004 movie The Final Cut. It’s certainly not a cheery film but it does leave you thinking through the issues it raises about how we remember people.
I’m sure that many people will be hoping and praying for a quick and full recovery.
