You were skillful and kind, Mr. Warner, sinister and refined, and your performances held a distinct ability to outshine most actors' boldest expectations.
The indisputable proof can be found in Time After Time; The Company of Wolves; Nightwing; From Beyond the Grave; Lois and Clark: The New Adventures of Superman (as Jor-El); Batman: The Animated Series (as Ra's al Ghul); Waxwork; Ice Cream Man; The Unnamable II; The Lost World '92; Time Bandits; Planet of the Apes '01; Tron; Star Trek V: The Final Frontier; Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country; Star Trek TNG: "Chain of Command"; Babylon 5: "Grail"; Quest of the Delta Knights; Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles II; My Best Friend is a Vampire; Blue Tornado; A Doll's House; A Midsummer Night's Dream '68; Tom Jones; The Fixer; Straw Dogs '71, The Code Conspiracy; Cross of Iron; The Sea Gull; Providence; Silver Bears; Ragtime Summer; The Island '80; The Concorde - Airport '79; The Man with Two Brains; Perfect Friday; The Little Unicorn; The Last Leprechaun; Hansel and Gretel '97; Mary Poppins Returns; Rasputin: Dark Servant of Destiny; and the blockbuster that topped 'em all, Titanic '97.
To many, though, it was your performance as Keith Jennings in The Omen '76 that most will reference, not only for the ardent command you brought to the role, but your character's shocking death. Ouch!
May you now occupy the great stage that is Heaven, and entertain the ethereal, as you've done "time after time" among the mortals of this appreciative earth.
