I heard about this today on the radio.

I liked him in "Something In The Air" and he was in quite a few movies too.
A bad year for Aussie actors / celebrities.

Anybody have a picture?

[FizzyGrissom]

Sorry, I don't have pictures myself, but I found some on the net.

Younger.

Older.

Thanks for the pix.

I know him from his voiceover work on Thunderbirds, the sci-fi marionette show from the Andersons. RIP Ray

Big big drinker!

[Bessolo]

You say that as if it's a bad thing

LOL! I like a drink as much as the next person

But it is well know in Oz about Rays legendary drinking, there is lots
of footage of Ray at various functions " a little tired and emotional "
He was a great actor and in my mind I always relate him to Spencer Tracey,
maintaining an even keel and putting in great performances then disappearing on a binge. RIP Ray

Didn't Ray have some kind of mark or scar on his cheek? I seem to recall this.
