he's now 67 and had his issues with substances.

 

[zolabud]

Is he still alive Mike ??

Yep Zola, he is.

Clue ..... will always be remembered for at least two film classics. That shot of him was from a 60s TV series ... no cheating now

 

[Opalshards]

[Mike d]

No... looks like him and loved his TV stuff, but no.

Happy year to everyone.

[Mike d]

OK ... just woke up

Clue - he had a few "close shaves" in two Major films

 

[zolabud]

Tim Curry

 

[zolabud]

Any reason you put Major with a capital M Mike ??

 

[Mike d]

Tim Curry

Nope

 

[Mike d]

Any reason you put Major with a capital M Mike ??

Apologies ... that was just lazy typing ... no, nothing in the capital M. The close shaves is the clue

 

[zolabud]

I put '67 year old actor major' in Google and Tim Curry came up who has just had a major stroke......

 

[zolabud]

Steve Martin

 

[Mike d]

Yep, but it isn't him. Tell me when another clue is required ... but it'll be hard to think of something that won't give it away.

 

[zolabud]

Ben Kingsley

 

[zolabud]

I'm thinking it was a head shave Mike ??

 

[Mike d]

No .... "close" is the major clue word to a film and the "close shave" is a reference to his 2nd major film where he luckily escaped with his life
