Ian Richardson, 1934-2007

Actor Ian Richardson died today.

In 1990, he starred as the wicked, charming, power-lusting Francis Urquhart (a.k.a. F.U.) in the BBC political thriller, House of Cards.



Polls of British TV viewers have recognized F.U. as one of British television's greatest-ever villains. The movie and Richardson's performance, are amazing. It's my favorite thing I've ever seen on TV. Ever. I saw it on PBS's Masterpiece Theatre around 1990 or 1991 and have watched it again on DVD a few times.

andy2000.org is officially in mourning.
