    By on May 8, 2024

    London: Actor Bernard Hill, best known for roles in Titanic and Lord of the Rings, has died aged 79, BBC news reported. He played Captain Edward Smith in the 1997 Oscar-winning film and King Théoden in the Lord of the Rings.

    His breakout role was in BBC TV drama Boys from the Blackstuff, where he portrayed Yosser Hughes, a character who struggled – and often failed – to cope with unemployment in Liverpool. Hill was also much loved for his performances in Peter Jackson’s epic trilogy The Lord of the Rings.

    He joined the cast for the second film, 2002’s The Two Towers, and returned to the franchise for 2003’s The Return Of The King, which picked up 11 Oscars.

    Other roles in his decades-long career included the 1976 BBC TV series I, Claudius, an appearance in 1982’s Gandhi, Shirley Valentine in 1989, The Scorpion King in 2002 and 2008 Tom Cruise film Valkyrie.
