Lewis Collins

Dead.

Many of us on here probably watched The Professionals as we grew up.

I met him years ago at a charity event. Utterly charming.

Rest in Peace.

Surely there's to be some sort of caption competition in the offing ?

Such a shame. My sister met him a couple of times and said what a lovely guy he was.
I've got some chloroform and handcuffs, just for you.

Sad News.He liked a lot of action when not in "The Professionals".He did a Parachute jump and broke his leg,so filming had to be delayed.

The older members might also remember him from The Cuckoo Waltz with the lovely Diane Keen.
And wasn't he once being touted as a possible James Bond?
I could well have seen him as 007.
He made a big impact from relatively few acting roles.

did not get the Bond gig because too aggressive

in ither hands Bodie's phrase "get down on your kness and put your hands where I can see them" might have been a little less macho
