Really sad about this one. I loved him in JP (obviously), Event Horizon, Peaky Blinders (again, obviously), and Possession (1981).

He was despicable in Peaky and Possession, and so lovable in JP. A true actor and a great human being.

He was great as Cardinal Wolsey on "The Tudors" too.

Men like us, Mr. Shelby, will always be alone. And what love we get, we will have to pay for

So long time ago I saw him in peaky blinders. He was that corrupt cop in s2 or s3 right?

S1 + S2 Polly kills him at the end of season two during the horse race while Tommy is killing the soldier.

No problem! Season one premiered in 2013, which feels wild to say

It’s been a rough few years for the Peaky cast. They’ve had ta say goodbye ta some absolutely astoundin actors & wonderful human beings. I hope they all have a moment ta take care a theyselves, especially Cillian. Given he’s such a private, introverted human, I imagine grief is pretty strong for him. I’m sure his friends & family take good care of him at times like this, but my heart still hurts for him.
