[QUOTE="IlliniFaninHoosierLand, post: 1519336, member: 85743"] He was diagnosed with a form of dementia in 2015 which is what he ended up passing from. There was concern for his health during the Monty Python Live (Mostly) stage shows they did at the O2 in London back in July 2014 when he had difficulties learning his lines. His health got worse over the years to the point where as recently as a few years ago he was only able to say a few words of his agreement. He's definitely one of the more underappreciated members of Monty Python. He was known for usually playing a woman in drag if the sketches called for it. He played Cardinal Biggles in the Spanish Inquisition sketch and was Mr. Creosote in Monty Python's Meaning of Life, perhaps his best known role within the Monty Python universe. He also played Karl Marx in the Communist Quiz sketch. He co-directed Monty Python and the Holy Grail with Terry Gilliam before being the sole director for Monty Python's Life of Brian and Monty Python's The Meaning of Life. Here's a nice video tribute of him that's been on Youtube for several years now: [MEDIA=youtube]0ntyiaBTjXk[/MEDIA] [/QUOTE]
