'Empire Strikes Back' Actor Sheard Dies
Aug 31, 8:47 AM EST

The Associated Press

LONDON -- Michael Sheard, who played Admiral Ozzel in "The Empire Strikes Back" and Adolf Hitler five times, including in "Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade," has died, his agent said. He was 65.

Sheard died on Wednesday at his home on the Isle of Wight off the southern coast of England, agent Liz Hobbs said. He had been suffering from cancer.

Sheard appeared in more than 40 feature films, working with actors including Lawrence Olivier, David Niven, Roger Moore and Sean Connery.

He is best known in Britain for his role as Maurice Bronson, the teacher who terrorized his pupils in the long-running teenage soap, "Grange Hill."

Sheard is survived by his wife, Ros, and three children. Funeral details were not immediately available.

Not ROTS related m'dear....

*cough*demodded!!*cough*

Rest in Peace Admiral Ozzel.. but this is still not ROTS related, thus should be moved to the OT forum...

shaddup baily..

friggin thread nazi hitler

Ozzel was in the control bay of the star destroyer at the end of ROTS, so it's totally related. You didn't see him. Watch again. He was just a lieutenant at the time, and Vader shoots him an evil look. 'Cause he's evil. All his looks are that way.

Yes ma'am

sorry thought i was in the ROTS thread

damn...i was too late for the feeding frenzy

Feeding frenzy..that's pathetic. Polluting an thread with incessant, immature flaming and wannabe moderating. REPORT THE THREAD. It's that simple.

wrong tree dude.
everyone on this thread is friends with bilb and just having some fun at her expense.

RIP Mr Sheard....................but wrong forum buddy

Wasn't he killed in a Galaxy far far away a long time ago by Darth..........................What was his name again?.........................Oh yes!....................VADER! That was it.

Jesus Christ, a well famous actor (even in star wars) dies and all you peoplel care about is where this bloody forum is supposed to be placed. Leave that to the moderators damnit.

Oh and I'm not ranting about showing a dead man respect. You feel what you want to. Just annoyed all you care about is flaming threads who aren't in the right place.

Rest in Peace Shear. It's only now, i realise how many shows are watched with him starring in them. It's sad to see him gone : (
