RIP Edward Woodward

[laura_seabrook]

EQUALIZER star EDWARD WOODWARD died in hospital yesterday at the age of 79. The much-loved veteran had been suffering from a variety of illnesses, including pneumonia.

I first came across EW in the series Callan, a gritty series about a hitman for British Counter Intelligence. Of the films that he appeared in the one that made the biggest impression on me was The Wicker Man (1973) where he plays the central and crucial role (the film worked because he was in it, the remake was crap).

Most folk probably know him from The Equalizer where he played Robert McCall, but he also appeared in La Femme Nikita where he played Mr. Jones.
