Very sad to hear of Richard Pasco passing recently. Richard Pasco appeared with Peter Cushing in: Sword of Sherwood Forest (1960) The Gorgon (1964)
'Richard Pasco, who has died aged 88, was one of the finest classical actors of his generation.
Though he did not achieve the star status that would have come from
appearing in a long-running TV series, no one who saw it will ever
forget his alternation of the roles of Richard II and Bolingbroke in a
famous 1973 RSC production. Gifted with a mellifluous voice and a strong
presence, he worked with all the major companies, including long stints
at Bristol Old Vic and Birmingham Rep in their heyday. Pasco had a
prolific, stage-driven career that few young actors today can hope to
emulate.'
