David Warner has passed away.
Born on July 29 1941, Warner was In Babylon 5 in Grail playing Aldous Gajic.
As well as the Babylon 5 universe, Warner has also been in the Blake's 7, Star Trek and Babylon 5 universes.
David Warner got to be a member of the club of actors who had played the Doctor for Doctor Who.
In Warner's case it was as an audio-only Doctor for Big Finish Productions when he played the Unbound Third Doctor in Sympathy for the Devil in 2003 and then in Masters of War in 2008.
He came back as this Doctor later on in The New Adventures of Bernice Summerfield.
Aside from the Unbound Third Doctor, Warner played various characters in Big Finish's Doctor Who and spin-off ranges.
Sympathy for the Devil guest starred future Tenth Doctor David Tennant and Warner later reunited Tennant when Tennant was the Tenth Doctor for the 2009 animated story Dreamland in which Warner played Lord Azlok.
In 2013, Warner finally got to showed his face on live-action Doctor Who when he guest starred in the TV episode Cold War in which he played Professor Grisenko.
Cold War marked the Ice Warriors debut into NuWho and curiously Warner played another professor, Boston Schooner in another Ice Warriors tale in the Big Finish Eighth Doctor episode Deimos, three years earlier in 2010.
Cold War was written by Warner's long-time friend Mark Gatiss.
Gatiss is also an actor and he too was in Sympathy for the Devil in which he was the Master against Warner's Doctor.
Just before Warner's death Ninth Doctor Chris Eccleston revealed that he had worked with Warner for Big Finish's 60th anniversary Doctor Who story in 2023 as Eccleston gave his praise of Warner with this working experience with him.
As Doctor Who is all about time travel, Warner was involved with time travel narrative outside of Doctor Who with Time After Time, Time Bandits
In the case of Blake's 7, Warner was never in it when it ran on television between 1978 and 1981.
Warner's lack of anything Blake's 7 got rectified with guest stints in Big Finish's Blake's 7 range in The Liberator Chronicles episodes Secrets & Capital playing Solvin Tavac.
In Star Trek he was in Star Trek V: The Final Frontier playing St John Talbot, Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country playing the ill-fated Klingon Chancellor Gorkon, and in the TNG two-parter Chain of Command playing Gul Madred.
Other work included The Omen (also with Second Doctor Patrick Troughton), Cross of Iron, Age of Innocence, The Thirty-Nine Steps, The Concorde... Airport '79, S.O.S. Titanic, TRON, The Man With Two Brains, A Christmas Carol, Hansel and Gretel, Spymaker: The Secret Life of Ian Fleming, Twin Peaks, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles II: The Secret of the Ooze, The Lost World, Return to the Lost World, Captain Planet and the Planeteers, Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman, Batman: The Animated Series, Iron Man, Gargoyles, Spider-Man: The Animated Series, returning to the Titanic in James Cameron's 1997 movie, Scream 2, Houdini, Wing Commander, Superman: The Animated Series, Batman Beyond, Hornblower, Men In Black: The Series, Planet of the Apes, Ladies in Lavender, Marple, The League of Gentlemen's Apocalypse, Sensitive Skin, Hogfather, Mad Dogs, Penny Dreadful, Inside No. 9, Ripper Street, Mary Poppins Returns & Teen Titans Go!
He died on July 24 2022 just five days before his 81st birthday.
