Richard Griffiths (1947 - 2013)
==Film Deaths==
*Sleepy Hollow (1999) [Magistrate Samuel Philipse]: Decapitated with a sword by the headless horseman (Ray Park/Christopher Walken), his severed head rolls and lands in front of Johnny Depp. To which the horseman then sticks his sword into it and takes it away.
*The History Boys (2006) [Hector]: Killed off-screen in a motorbike accident with Stephen Campbell Moore, who survives. We only see them on the motorbike, to which the screen then goes to white with noise heard, and then we see the wrecked motorbike. His memorial service is later shown at the university.
*Jackboots on Whitehall (2010; animated) [Hermann Göring]: Providing the voice of Hermann Göring (animated through puppetry), he is killed (along with Tom Wilkinson and Richard O'Brien) when Fiske (voiced by Dominic West) crashes his plane into the Hindenburg. (Obviously, this bears no resemblance to the historic facts.) (Played for comic effect.)
==Television Deaths==
*Gormenghast (2000 TV mini-series) [Swelter]: Falls to his death after being knocked from the tower at the end of a fight with Christopher Lee.
