So sorry to have to bring this sad news to the forum:
just heard that actor John Sessions has died.
He played Kenny Price in The Great Game.

Sad news indeed.

I don't even know if Mark knows yet, he's not mentioned it on Twitter...
neither has Stephen Fry, who I know was a close friend.
(Tad controversial) the only one I've seen refer to it so far is Laurence Fox, who is devastated.

I suppose it might have been sudden and unexpected, if it was heart disease.

I still remember how good he was in Gormenghast! He really shone in those character roles.

I loved him in his QI appearances, too...
So clever and funny.
Seems to have been just such a lovely man.

Oh, Mark has tweeted:

Terribly sad to hear that John Sessions has passed away. A kind, hilarious and naughty man; immensely talented and an anecdotal powerhouse. RIP
