Actor Donald Douglas died on Wednesday of an unidentified illness. He was 92. According to the Daily Mail, the Scottish actor died in a French hospital while surrounded by his family. He leaves behind his wife, three children, and five grandchildren. Douglas was a mainstay of British cinema and television, known for his roles in Doctor Who, Poldark, and, of course, his best-known role as Admiral Darcy in the rom-com Bridget Jones’ Diary. He received his acting education at the Edinburgh College of Art and the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art in London. His friends told the story of who he was offstage. A friend, Meredith Wheeler, said on her YouTube channel that “He had an impish sense of humour and a generous heart.” Fellow actor Toby Hadoke kindly quipped, “What an actor. Always brought a bit of heft and a touch of class to his roles which is I guess why his CV brimmed with illustrious fare.”
