He didn't do much stage work but his television and film work was impressive. "Gizza job" (Boys From The Blackstuff just being staged now) is one of the emblematic phrases from the eighties. But he had a long and honourable career which included participating in blockbusters such as Lord of the Rings and Game of Thrones but also subtler stuff. Loved Fox with him Peter Vaughan and Ray Winstone (amongst others).
Bernard Hill had a solid, dignified presence and diction and enhanced every work he was in. RIP.

One absolutely iconic role, not many actors achieve that.
I never saw him on stage. I see he played Lopakhin in Cherry Orchard - I would like to have seen that.
