Midnight Media Cafe - RIP Nicol Williamson

Nicol Williamson, who gave such sardonic, witty life to the great Merlin in Excalibur, passed away on December 16.

His recording of The Hobbit was a masterpiece. Since we're all awaiting the film so eagerly, here is your chance to hear the master artist using that brilliant voice to bring life to Tolkien's little hero:

Part Three


Despite the fact that he finally got sick of acting and left it all behind years ago, I and many others still feel he was one of the greatest to come out of Britain.

RIP, good man. You will (and still are) missed.

I'm sorry to hear that. I remember his wonderful acting in "The Seven-Percent Solution".
