Richard Keith Johnson (30 July 1927 – 5 June 2015) was an English stage and screen actor, writer and producer. Described by Michael Coveney as "a very 'still' actor – authoritative, calm and compelling,"[1] he was a staple performer in British films and television from the 1960s until the 2010s, often playing urbane sophisticates and authoritative characters.[1] He had a distinguished theatrical career, notably as a cornerstone member of the Royal Shakespeare Company,[3] and was once acclaimed as "the finest romantic actor of his generation."[4]
