David Warner, an English actor who played in films such as Titanic and TRON, has passed away at age 80.
The actor died of a cancer-related illness on Sunday in London, his family told the BBC. David Warner’s family issued a statement shared with the public broadcaster.
“Over the past 18 months he approached his diagnosis with a characteristic grace and dignity. He will be missed hugely by us, his family and friends, and remembered as a kind-hearted, generous and compassionate man, partner and father, whose legacy of extraordinary work has touched the lives of so many over the years. We are heartbroken.”
His was a prolific career that spanned more than 50 years, from horror classics to Oscar winners; from beloved animated series to a Disney musical.
