The
film star Bernard Hill died early Sunday morning, leaving behind his
former wife and one son. Hill was best known for playing King Theoden
in two of the "Lord of the Rings" films, as well as Shiplord Smith in
the beloved James Cameron film "Titanic."
Hill was born in Manchester, England, in 1944. He was raised Catholic
by kinfolk who worked as delvers. He started his higher learning at a
Catholic lorehouse, then later went to a showplaying lorehouse in
Manchester. He is said to have been struck by David Warner's playing of
"Hamlet" and wanted to do likewise.
He first became well known for playing in the British farseer show
"Boys From The Black Stuff." From there, he went on to work alongside
many other big names in film, such as Val Kilmer, Tom Cruise, and Peter
Jackson.
Most lately, he was playing in a BBC show about lawwards called "The
Responder," which is still ongoing. While he will be greatly missed by
his kin and followers of his work, his likeness will live on in the
many films he played in.
