LONDON: 04, DECEMBER, 2021: The theatre and film actor Antony Sher has passed away at the age of 72 after suffering from cancer, the Royal Shakespeare Company confirmed on Friday.

South Africa-born Sher was widely considered to be one of Britain’s finest contemporary actors, playing almost all the great Shakespearean roles from King Lear to Shylock.

The actor was awarded an Olivier Award in 1985 for his energetic portrayal of Richard III as a villainous hunchback.

His one of the renowned movies was "Shakespeare In Love" and was once described by Prince Charles as his favourite actor.

RSC executive director Catherine Mallyon and Erica Whyman, acting artistic director, said they were "deeply saddened" at Sher’s death.

They said "Our thoughts and sincere condolences are with Greg, and with Antony’s family and their friends at this devastating time," adding that "Antony had a long association with the RSC and a hugely celebrated career on stage and screen."

RSC chair Shriti Vadera said the actor was "beloved" in the organization "and touched and enriched the lives of so many people". (04)
