From BBC News Online
Oscar-winning actor Paul Scofield died at the age of 86, his agent has said.
Scofield won the Academy Award for best actor in 1967 for A Man for All Seasons, and was also nominated in 1995 for best supporting actor in Quiz Show.
The British-born actor started his stage career in 1940, and later became known for his Shakespearean roles.
He played King Lear in the 1972 film version of Shakespeare's play, and also played the French King in Kenneth Branagh's Henry V in 1989.
The actor died peacefully on Wednesday in a hospital near his Sussex home, his agent Rosalind Chatto said. He had been diagnosed with leukaemia.
Scofield won his Oscar for playing Sir Thomas More in A Man for All Seasons, based on the life of the 16th Century Lord Chancellor.

Oh no. A Man For All Seasons is one of my favorite movies. He deserved that Academy Award. I believe he also reads The Chronicles of Narnia an audio book.
A great talent is gone. RIP Paulhttp://www.chins-n-quills.com/forums/images/smilies/cry2.gif

I first saw the movie when I was 8, even then I thought it was a fantastic movie. Paul had a way of playing a character in a certain way that they don't do anymore. Perhaps it's old Shakespearian acting, but I liked it.
