Edward Woodward Dies at 79
November 16, 2009 Comments
Edward Woodward, the British thespian not at all related to the Watergate scandal, died today at 79. The actor is probably best known for his role as sergeant Neil Howie in The Wicker Man (it turns out there was a Wicker Man before Nic Cage's), though some may remember him for his Golden Globe-winning part in The Equalizer, from the the British spy series Callan, or, more recently, for his part in Hot Fuzz.
Director Edgar Wright has written a fine memorial here. Burn a woven twig effigy in the Woodward name tonight.
