Title: The Bodie is lying in State
Post by: Tonker on November 29, 2013, 03:40:23 AM
Lewis Collins, hero of my childhood, star of "The Professionals (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0075561/)" and "Who Dares Wins (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0083941/?ref_=nv_sr_2)", and all-round tough guy.  He passed the entry tests for the SAS but they turned him down because he was famous.  He auditioned for James Bond but was turned down because he was "too aggressive".  He could have been the drummer in the Beatles (http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2515281/Lewis-Collins-tougher-legendary-role-The-Professionals.html).  He didn't get married until his mid-forties, and he looked like this:

...so you just just fucking KNOW he's had more gint than the rest of us put together.  I'd totally have slept with him.

All round fucking legend.

Dead at 67, after a five-year battle with cancer (http://www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio/2013/nov/28/professionals-bodie-lewis-collins-dies).  Boo.
