Gareth Thomas has passed away.
Born on February 12 1945, Gareth Thomas in sci fi circles is forever remembered as rebel leader Roj Blake in Blake's 7. He later reprised Blake for Big Finish's Blake's 7 range.
Like most of the Blake's 7 cast Thomas appeared in the world of Doctor Who.
He made his Doctor Who debut in Big Finish's Storm Warning which marked the return of Paul McGann as the Eighth Doctor since the TV Movie.
In Storm Warning he played Lord Tamworth.
Further Big Finish Whoniverse work saw him played Kalendorf in the Dalek Empire series.
He also played Kalendorf in Return of the Daleks, Big Finish's crossover between the main Doctor Who and Dalek Empire ranges.
He made one further Big Finish Doctor Who in Last of the Colophon playing Astaroth Morax.
Elsewhere in the Whoniverse but not for Big Finish he appeared in the Torchwood season 1 episode Ghost Machine playing Ed Morgan.
His other on-screen work included the Quatermass and the Pit movie.
Other work included The Avengers, Coronation Street, Star Maidens, Children of the Stones, The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes, Knights of God (which I am coincidentally currently watching), The Strangerers (which also featured Blake's 7 co-star Paul Darrow), Randall & Hopkirk (Deceased) remake series & M.I. High.
He died on April 13 2016 at the age of 71.
