From a Washington Post obit by Harrison Smith headlined “Joss Ackland, stalwart of British stage and screen, dies at 95”:

Joss Ackland, a gravel-voiced British actor who played men of power and authority across an eclectic seven-decade career, donning a suit of armor to portray Falstaff on the London stage and wielding a pistol as a villainous South African diplomat and drug smuggler in “Lethal Weapon 2,” died on Nov. 19.
