Actor Edward Woodward Dies At 79
Veteran British actor Edward Woodward has died at the age of 79.
Woodward, best known for his roles in cult horror film The Wicker Man and hit TV series Callan and The Equalizer, passed away in hospital after battling illnesses including pneumonia. Woodward was also known for voice-acting and appeared in the 1992 Disney film Aladdin as "The Sultan". In a statement, his agent Janet Glass says: "Universally loved and admired through his unforgettable roles in classic productions such as Breaker Morant, The Wicker Man, Callan, The Equalizer and many more, he was equally fine and courageous in real life, never losing his brave spirit and wonderful humour throughout his illness. "He was further sustained by the love of his wife, Michele, children, Tim, Peter, Sarah and Emily, his grandchildren and numerous friends. His passing will leave a huge gap in many lives." -IMDB News |

The Equalizer was one of my favorite shows of all time. It was very underrated and he was very underrated with it. R.I.P. Edward.
