British actor Douglas Wilmer died March 31 at the age of 96. A prolific character actor, he was perhaps best known for portraying Sherlock Holmes in a 1960's BBC television series. I had the pleasure of meeting him in 1999. A lovely gentleman. He was on my list. R.I.P. Signor V.

"Sure I cook with wine - sometimes I even add it to the food!"
"When life itself seems lunatic, who knows where madness lies?"
"It was a grass harp... And we listened."
"Do any human beings ever realize life while they live it? Every, every minute?"
"No. Saints and poets, maybe... they do some."
