The actor Michael Jayston, who has died aged 88, was a distinguished performer on stage and screen. The roles that made his name were as the doomed Tsar Nicholas II of Russia in Franklin Schaffner’s sumptuous account of the last days of the Romanovs in Nicholas and Alexandra (1971), and as Alec Guinness’s intelligence minder in John Le Carré’s Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy on television in 1979. He never made a song and dance about himself and perhaps as a consequence was not launched in Hollywood, as were many of his contemporaries.

Before these two parts, he had already played a key role in The Power Game on television and Henry Ireton, Cromwell’s son-in-law, in Ken Hughes’s fine Cromwell (1969), with Richard Harris in the title role and Guinness as King Charles I. And this followed five years with the Royal Shakespeare Company including a trip to Broadway in Harold Pinter’s The Homecoming, in which he replaced Michael Bryant as Teddy, the brother who returns to the US and leaves his wife in London to “take care of” his father and siblings.

Jayston, who was not flamboyantly good-looking but clearly and solidly attractive, with a steely, no-nonsense, demeanour and a steady, piercing gaze, could “do” the Pinter menace as well as anyone, and that cast – who also made the 1973 movie directed by Peter Hall – included Pinter’s then wife, Vivien Merchant, as well as Paul Rogers and Ian Holm.

Jayston had found a replacement family in the theatre. Born Michael James in Nottingham, he was the only child of Myfanwy (nee Llewelyn) and Vincent; his father died of pneumonia, following a serious accident on the rugby field, when Michael was one, and his mother died when he was a barely a teenager. He was then brought up by his grandmother and an uncle, and found himself involved in amateur theatre while doing national service in the army; he directed a production of The Happiest Days of Your Life.

He continued in amateur theatre while working for two years as a trainee accountant for the National Coal Board and in Nottingham fish market, before winning a scholarship, aged 23, to the Guildhall School of Music and Drama in London, where he was five years older than everyone else on his course. He played in rep in Bangor, Northern Ireland, and at the Salisbury Playhouse before joining the Bristol Old Vic for two seasons in 1963.

At the RSC from 1965, he enjoyed good roles – Oswald in Ghosts, Bertram in All’s Well That Ends Well, Laertes to David Warner’s Hamlet – and was Demetrius in Hall’s film of A Midsummer Night’s Dream (1968), with Warner as Lysander in a romantic foursome with Diana Rigg and Helen Mirren.

But his RSC associate status did not translate itself into the stardom of, say, Alan Howard, Warner, Judi Dench, Ian Richardson and others at the time. He was never fazed or underrated in this company, but his career proceeded in a somewhat nebulous fashion, and Nicholas and Alexandra, for all its success and ballyhoo, did not bring him offers from the US.

Instead, he played Charles Lutwidge Dodgson (Lewis Carroll) in Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland (1972), a so-so British musical film version with music and lyrics by John Barry and Don Black, with Michael Crawford as the White Rabbit and Peter Sellers the March Hare. In 1979 he was a colonel in Zulu Dawn, a historically explanatory prequel to the earlier smash hit Zulu.

As an actor he seemed not to be a glory-hunter. Instead, in the 1980s, he turned in stylish and well-received leading performances in Noël Coward’s Private Lives, at the Duchess, opposite Maria Aitken (1980); as Captain von Trapp in the first major London revival of The Sound of Music at the Apollo Victoria in 1981, opposite Petula Clark; and, best of all, as Mirabell, often a thankless role, in William Gaskill’s superb 1984 revival, at Chichester and the Haymarket, of The Way of the World, by William Congreve, opposite Maggie Smith as Millamant.

Nor was he averse to taking over the leading roles in plays such as Peter Shaffer’s Equus (1973) or Brian Friel’s Dancing at Lughnasa (1992), roles first occupied in London by Alec McCowen. He rejoined the National Theatre – he had been Gratiano with Laurence Olivier and Joan Plowright in The Merchant of Venice directed by Jonathan Miller in 1974 – to play a delightful Home Counties Ratty in the return of Alan Bennett’s blissful, Edwardian The Wind in the Willows in 1994.

On television, he was a favourite side-kick of David Jason in 13 episodes of David Nobbs’s A Bit of a Do (1989) – as the solicitor Neville Badger in a series of social functions and parties across West Yorkshire – and in four episodes of The Darling Buds of May (1992) as Ernest Bristow, the brewery owner. He appeared again with Jason in a 1996 episode of Only Fools and Horses.

He figured for the first time on fan sites when he appeared in the 1986 Doctor Who season The Trial of a Time Lord as Valeyard, the prosecuting counsel. In the new millennium he passed through both EastEnders and Coronation Street before bolstering the most lurid storyline of all in Emmerdale (2007-08): he was Donald de Souza, an unpleasant old cove who fell out with his family and invited his disaffected wife to push him off a cliff on the moors in his wheelchair, but died later of a heart attack.

By now living on the south coast, Jayston gravitated easily towards Chichester as a crusty old colonel – married to Wendy Craig – in Coward’s engaging early play Easy Virtue, in 1999, and, three years later, in 2002, as a hectored husband, called Hector, to Patricia Routledge’s dotty duchess in Timberlake Wertenbaker’s translation of Jean Anouilh’s Léocadia under the title Wild Orchids.

And then, in 2007, he exuded a tough spirituality as a confessor to David Suchet’s pragmatic pope-maker in The Last Confession, an old-fashioned but gripping Vatican thriller of financial and political finagling told in flashback. Roger Crane’s play transferred from Chichester to the Haymarket and toured abroad with a fine panoply of senior British actors, Jayston included.

After another collaboration with Jason, and Warner, in the television movie Albert’s Memorial (2009), a touching tale of old war-time buddies making sure one of them is buried on the German soil where first they met, and a theatre tour in Ronald Harwood’s musicians-in-retirement Quartet in 2010 with Susannah York, Gwen Taylor and Timothy West, he made occasional television appearances in Midsomer Murders, Doctors and Casualty. Last year he provided an introduction to a re-run of Tinker Tailor on BBC Four. He seemed always to be busy, available for all seasons.

As a keen cricketer (he also played darts and chess), Jayston was a member of the MCC and the Lord’s Taverners. After moving to Brighton, he became a member of Sussex county cricket club and played for Rottingdean, where he was also president.

His first two marriages – to the actor Lynn Farleigh in 1965 and the glass engraver Heather Sneddon in 1970 – ended in divorce. From his second marriage he had two sons, Tom and Ben, and a daughter, Li-an. In 1979 he married Ann Smithson, a nurse, and they had a son, Richard, and daughter, Katie.

This is such a random question, but ya got any info on any ocs ya made for red dead? (So random I'm sorry lmao have a good day my dude ✌)

okay so I have a real quick nd vague-ish run down of their backgrounds nd how they come to meet nd whatnot ,, dunno how coherent this is cause my attention span is ,, non existent and  ive mainly spent time developing and re purposing my red dead OCs for one of my classes,, but seeing as its still set around the end of the 18th century its kinda like a prelude to what goes down in and around rdr2 with these fellas

I’ll slap it under the cut 

first up is my main bitch Adeline Tulley, so basically its a lil cliche but,, when she was pretty young kid this gang came by her family farm, killed her parents and left her blinded and left her to die essentially but she was taken in by one of the farm hands who happened to be an outlaw workin on the down low to make some money and get outta the state. This outlaw dude taught her how to fend for herself nd what not for a few years, went their separate way and Adeline decided she was gonna get revenge on the gang leader for all the shit he’d done to her. On her travels she stops by a saloon in town to get some info on the whereabouts of said gang leader and runs into my second OC Llewelyn Griffiths.

my boy Lew comes from a fairly wealthy family who owned a mine somewhere in Rhondda Valley, and emigrated to america in the mid 1870's when he was about 12ish when his dad invested in some land in new austin. his mum died in childbirth or some shit when he was still pretty young, and his dad died of pneumonia somewhere around 1884/5 so his older brother took over the company and Llewellyn was like ,, fuck this mining shit im proficient enough with a gun, Im gonna be a bounty hunter. So, he spent his early bounty hunting years workin his way up to th e gang that killed Adeline’s family and runs into Addie in the saloon gathering more information on him.

theres some bonding nd shit that happens between them whilst they hunt down evil gang leader man nd kill him but yah once all that business is done with that first bounty together they decide to stick together as a team and go after bigger bounties eventually ending up gunning for colm and the odriscolls which is how they run into the van der linde gang

Character Development Meme (source)

the basics:

name: Alwin Thulineon age: 100+ zodiac sign: Monster Hunter world does not have the Zodiac, but if he had one it would be Virgo. (At least he is from what I can tell here--he’s generally modest, introverted, reliable, diligent, and highly analytical while also being anxious, perfectionistic, tending toward the critical side and set in his ways.) one good trait: His sense of service. one bad trait: His inability to let go of the past.

habits:

one bad habit: He emotionally self-harms by reminding himself of Red when he needs it least. one good habit: He rises before anyone else in the village to ensure that all is secure. one habit they can’t break: Occasionally, he still tries to pet Felynes even though he knows he’s allergic. one they’ve broken: Offering criticism before praise when speaking to young Riders in training.  what they’re afraid of: Losing people too soon.

family:

their parents names: Beifeng Taihong and Ravara Thulineon their siblings names: Llewelyn and Mythanar Thulineon favorite childhood memory: Sneaking all the way out to Loloska to find a Legiana egg all by his lonesome--the egg that would one day become Shaulk. (It was the one bad thing he did as a kid!) favorite childhood toy: A little doll with a crown of Gargwa feathers on its head. embarrassing story: As a kid, he used to believe that Nua Te was a village that floated in the clouds. His dad heard this and never corrected him for the lulz, until one day he figured out the truth. favorite family member: His mom. a story about that family member: Growing up as the only child with Asian-coded heritage in a predominantly white-coded space, Alwin was very self-conscious of his eyes. He bottled it up for the longest time before finally asking his mom why he didn’t look “normal.” She told him that when his father first came to the village, it was his beautiful, striking eyes that first got her attention and that he should be proud.

what they prefer:

coffee or tea? showering bathing in the day or night? taking baths or taking showers? tv or movies? writing or reading? platonic or romantic love? iced tea or lemonade? ice cream or smoothies? cupcakes or cake? beach or mountains?

favorites:

song: Something that goes like this. band:  outfit: Not a favorite outfit, but his favorite piece of clothing is the red scarf he wears. I headcanon Red gave it to him and he’ll wear it with anything no matter how badly it clashes including his canon outfit. place: In the Etulle Forest. memory: Hatching Shaulk, his and Red’s first kiss, entering Nua Te for the first time (postgame), learning how to play the erhu and pipa person: His parents. movie: show:

The complicated heroism and nuanced villainy of Josh Brolin.

Dan White in Milk. D: Gus Van Sant (2008). White was a right-wing city supervisor who was Harvey Milk’s sometimes colleague, sometimes ally and ultimately his assassin. Brolin plays him as a negative image, as closed down, suspicious and limited (while Milk played by Sean Penn was open and effective) and an alcoholic and failed politician whose act of craven violence (and even more craven “twinkie” defense) would destroy him almost as much as he deserved.

Llewelyn Moss in No Country for Old Men. D: Joel and Ethan Coen (2007). As a hunter who comes across a drug deal gone bad and steals a briefcase with two million dollars, Brolin plays a character who is smart, resourceful and careful enough to survive his pursuit by a cartel’s contract killer. He’s also the reason people gasped in the theater at a narrative ploy that changes the tenor of the film almost as much as the one in Psycho. Brolin gives the character a man on the run’s adrenalized fear, but also the courageous arrogance of a first-rate action hero, up to the point when the movie catches up to him.

Thanos in Avengers: Infinity War. D: Anthony and Joe Russo (2018).  In a densely populated superhero epic, Brolin is close to the main protagonist, as an alien despot looking to acquire the power to end half of all life in the universe. Brolin plays him (in one of the great motion capture performances) with a thoughtful, even soulful presence as a being willing to go through daunting travails and even great sacrifice to achieve his ends. And he sold one of the greatest cliffhangers of all time by just sitting on steps, watching a sunset, enjoying the satisfaction of a job well done.

ONCE UPON A TIME : the reboot by drew and menelaos

season 6, episode 6 : Eye of the Beholder

present : Gabriel finally discovers that Henry’s book of fairy tales was written by a woman named Scheherazade. When he meets with Mr. Gold and Sydney to deliver this information, Sydney insists that this is impossible – Scheherazade was dead long before the Dark Curse and long before many of these stories even happened – but manages to keep tight-lipped that this Scheherazade is his sister. But since Gabriel has held up his end of the deal, Gold releases Robbie and the husbands are reunited. Cynthia throws a birthday party for Ruby at the Rabbit Hole, where Matthew and Archie share their first kiss. David and Mary Margaret bring up the subject of restoring the realms to Ruby and Cynthia, who eagerly agree to help, but Mary Margaret expresses her concerns about how Emma will react. When Gabriel and Robbie arrive, things take a strange turn when they are recognized by the bartender, Dominic – at first angry at the sight of them, Dominic’s demeanor changes suddenly when he overhears the conversation between David and the ladies. Dominic breaks down crying, mourning to the entire bar that everything is “all his fault.”

past : In the kingdom of Misthaven, Regina is living in exile and Queen Snow White and her Charming rule while the queen’s belly grows each day with the coming princess. In a small village on the edge of the kingdom, a scholarly young man named Beau lives with his inventor mother, Maura. Beau feels isolated from the rest of the world and struggles to rebuff the advances of boorish local hunter Gaston. When Maura takes a trip into the forests of the fallen kingdom of Farrador, she finds refuge in an old castle, unaware that this is the home of the former Prince Adam, still trapped as a Beast after all these years. Beau is alarmed when Maura’s horse returns home riderless, so he ventures into the forest to find her, and finds himself trading places as the Beast’s captive. But Beau soon discovers there is much more to this castle and its horrifying occupant than meets the eye, and he eventually falls in love with his new home, its servants, and even the Beast himself.
