 RIP Grouty - VxFan
aka Peter Vaughan.

Although he has had a long acting career, his most famous part was playing Harry Grout in Porridge, despite the fact he only appeared in a handful of episodes.

He specialised in characters with a tough edge - such as police officers, secret agents and authoritarian elders.

Yep, just three episodes and, of course, the feature film.

 RIP Grouty - zippy
In Game of Thrones as well.

I really liked his character in Porridge.

One of his quotes made me chuckle: "I was never going to get a romantic lead!"

RIP

There was a very good B-film in which he played an insurance investigator.
A minor sub-plot was his own mild fiddling of his expenses claims, culminating in rounding up the cost of the umbrella that was damaged in his course of duty.
