Mourning for actor
Suspect on duty: Timothy West dies
He was always the suspect: the actor Timothy West, known from many British crime dramas, has died. He was 90 years old.
West was known to Austrian audiences through guest appearances in the crime series "Inspector Barnaby" and "Agatha Christie's Poirot".
Usually played the villain
Born on October 20, 1934, the Briton has appeared in numerous cinema and television productions since the late 1950s. He often played the role of the villain masterfully.
In one of his best-known roles, however, it was different: in the 1973 British-French thriller "The Jackal", West made a prominent appearance as a smart top cop at the head of a team of investigators. The officers are hunting a contract killer who is after French President Charles de Gaulle.
This version, directed by Austrian-born Fred Zinnemann, is considered the most successful film adaptation of Frederick Forsyth's bestseller.
