A well respected theatrical who after an episode of severe stage fright became a well known character actor. Best remembered by those younger cinema goers as Bilbo Baggins and to those who like their science fiction as Ash the corporation android. I liked him best in A Severed Head & The Madness Of King George alongside the fabulous Nigel Hawthorne. https://www.theguardian.com/film/2020/jun/19/ian-holm-dies-alien-chariots-of-fire-bilbo-baggins
