Paul Scofield, the British actor who starred as Thomas More in A Man For All Seasons, has passed away at age 86.
It was a great movie. I noticed several years ago that men named Thomas who served as Chancellor to English kings named Henry had a low life expectancy: Thomas รก Beckett and Henry II; Thomas Wolsey, Thomas More, Thomas Cromwell and Henry VIII.
Well, first Clarke, now Scofield. These things come in threes, who's to be the third?
Update: On Ann Althouse's blog, where I broached the "death in threes" thing, Ann reminded me that the third death was Anthony Minghella.
