probably best known for his roles as Hallyne the Pyromancer in Game of Thrones and as Leopold Mozart in the Oscar-winning 1984 film Amadeus, has died at the age of 94.
He was in GOT? Not that I ever saw it.

Mr Norbert Stiles, erstwhile footballist, is my replacement pick. I thought he would be older than 75 - but then I suppose he was still quite a young man when at the height of his fame, only 24 at the time of England's world cup victory.
