Ian Holm (Alien, 5th Element, LOTR) passes aged 88

Once again - this year sucks.

Silver lining – he passed peacefully.

One of those actors who was TOTALLY convincing in every role he played – SO believable in Alien (even as just a head!)

Loved him in so many roles. The talking head scene in Alien is still something I find hard to watch... He'll be missed

My god. I never realized that he played the android in Alien. What an amazing actor to be able to do that and also Bilbo.

First saw him in Alien and loved his work ever since.
