He could go from wanting a job to getting one as Captain of The Titanic but was superb as Theoden rising from decline to death on the fields of Gondor

His battle speech in Return of the King is an extraordinary piece of acting:

Arise, arise, Riders of Théoden!
spear shall be shaken, shield shall be splintered,
a sword-day, a red day, ere the sun rises!
Ride now, ride now, ride! Ride for ruin and the world’s ending!
Death! Death! Death!
Forth Eorlingas!

He also, I only found out recently, attended the same school as me.

Rest now, Theoden King.

Certainly more impressive than ‘Gizzajob’, eh?

But will definitely be missed.
