Remembering Joss Ackland

<h4 style="text-align: center;">
"a very smiling face, and a great heavy chin" [COPP]</h4>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
Actor <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joss_Ackland" target="_blank">Joss Ackland</a> has passed away. He was 95 years old.<br />
<br />
Sherlock Holmes fans may recognize him from a number of roles which we'll detail below — which would seem to parallel his stage career. In 2010, the Express credited him as appearing <a href="http://www.express.co.uk/life-style/health/182273/Motor-neurone-disease-made-Joss-Ackland-and-his-wife-live-life-to-the-full" target="_blank">in more plays than any other living actor</a>.<br />
<br />
Born in London in 1928, he was trained at the Central School of Speech and drama and made his debut in 1945 in "The Hasty Heart." His first film was the thriller <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0042949?ref_=nmbio_mbio" style="font-style: italic;">Seven Days to Noon</a> (1950), but he was uncredited; he made his credited debut in a supporting role in <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0044656?ref_=nmbio_mbio"><i>Ghost Ship</i></a> (1952). Ackland spent the late 1940s through the first half of the 1950s in regional theatrical companies, where he worked on his craft.<br />
<br />
In 1955, he left the stage and managed a tea plantation in Africa for two years, where he also served as a disc jockey and wrote plays. In 1957, he returned to England and joined the Old Vic theatre company and managed the Mermaid Theatre from 1962-1964. At this time, he established his prominence on the stage with many performances in London's West End, including Captain Hook in "Peter Pan," Juan Peron in "Evita," and Falstaff in "Henry IV Parts 1 and 2."<br />
<br />
During that time, he also began a run as a memorable character actor in films and television. He had roles in widely distributed films with great box office success such as <i>The Hunt for Red October</i>, <i>Lethal Weapon 2</i> ("<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VOBXH-5QrGU" target="_blank">Diplomatic immunity!</a>") and <i>The Mighty Ducks</i>.<br />
<br />
He made his first Sherlock Holmes-connected appearance as The Hon. Philip Green in "The Disappearance of Lady Frances Carfax" opposite Douglas Wilmer in the BBC's <i><a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0163492/?ref_=nm_flmg_act_179" target="_blank">Sherlock Holmes</a></i>.<br />
<br />
He also played the president in John Cleese’s disastrous parody, <i><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Strange_Case_of_the_End_of_Civilization_as_We_Know_It" target="_blank">The Strange Case of the End of Civilization as We Know It</a></i>, in which Cleese played the grandson of Sherlock Holmes. In "<a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0687038/?ref_=ttep_ep13" target="_blank">The Mystery of the Amber Beads</a>," an episode of the BBC series <i>The Rivals of Sherlock Holmes</i>, based on the anthologies edited by Hugh Greene, Ackland played Grubber.<br />
<br />
Ackland joined Christopher Lee and Patrick McNee in 1992 to play King Edward in <i><a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0102115/?ref_=nm_flmg_act_64" target="_blank">Incident at Victoria Falls</a></i>. In that role, he sent a ready-to-retire Sherlock Holmes on a mission to South Africa to recover the Star of Africa diamond.<br />
<br />
But we remember him most vividly and fondly for his turn as Jephro Rucastle in "The Copper Beeches" from Granada's <i>The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes</i>. This episode is toward the beginning of the Granada production, and it was a faithful adaptation with exquisite costuming, locations and casting.<div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgOKWmrblcpfkKaCcAlS1u1GSEUrlXdxYi2n3l070G6a8ARaNqi2i8iqqOzDpsy0wmESab_uaEm_7zlv2htTlqUUxsnA5107rFrq0-PiDjNo57f6gDqr2KGHnKjEoEcF6ELrHGu4hke1aQfxJpR547Hv0g14xI_7P744BiW3vBJTJWPCH6EnWlzDyHvLS0C/s1680/Joss%20Ackland%20-%20Jephro%20Rucastle.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1080" data-original-width="1680" height="412" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgOKWmrblcpfkKaCcAlS1u1GSEUrlXdxYi2n3l070G6a8ARaNqi2i8iqqOzDpsy0wmESab_uaEm_7zlv2htTlqUUxsnA5107rFrq0-PiDjNo57f6gDqr2KGHnKjEoEcF6ELrHGu4hke1aQfxJpR547Hv0g14xI_7P744BiW3vBJTJWPCH6EnWlzDyHvLS0C/w640-h412/Joss%20Ackland%20-%20Jephro%20Rucastle.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div>
<br />
Ackland seemed perfectly cast as Rucastle, as Conan Doyle described him as "a round, jovial man" who was a "prodigiously stout man with a very smiling face and a great heavy chin which rolled down in fold upon fold over his throat...with a pair of glasses on his nose."<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-yIUTQ56lKK8/WJ85JAtffvI/AAAAAAAAuVk/LL0yM2BYQToX7rjDRv6X1WHW089mvry6wCLcB/s1600/COPP.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-yIUTQ56lKK8/WJ85JAtffvI/AAAAAAAAuVk/LL0yM2BYQToX7rjDRv6X1WHW089mvry6wCLcB/s1600/COPP.jpg" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
In <a href="https://youtu.be/nnwOdEu4A6Q?si=lDqK9gQZRTKvVd5F&t=1671" target="_blank">one of the signature scenes</a> (with the late Natasha Richardson as Violet Hunter), we're treated to this excerpt described in the original story:<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
"Mr. Rucastle, walking up and down on the other side of the room, began to tell me a series of the funniest stories that I have ever listened to."</blockquote>
<br /><div style="text-align: center;"><iframe allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/nnwOdEu4A6Q?si=lDqK9gQZRTKvVd5F&start=1671" title="YouTube video player" width="560"></iframe></div>
<div><br /></div>
As a former disc jockey with decades of stage experience and as the father of seven children (whom he listed as his "hobby" in a 1981 interview), it's no doubt that Joss Ackland could have pulled off Rucastle's storytelling abilities.<br />
<br />
Joss Ackland was rewarded for his service to the profession in 2001 when he was made a Commander of the British Empire. In 2002, <a href="http://www.express.co.uk/life-style/health/182273/Motor-neurone-disease-made-Joss-Ackland-and-his-wife-live-life-to-the-full" target="_blank">he lost his wife of 51 years</a>, Rosemary, to motor neuron disease. With her permission, he published her diaries in 2009 under the title <i><a href="https://www.amazon.com/My-Better-Half-Rosemary-Ackland/dp/0091930618" target="_blank">My Better Half and Me</a></i>. </div><div><br /></div><div>Six of his seven children survive him, as do 32 grandchildren.<br />

He would become known professionally as Jeremy Brett.</p><p>He came from an upper-class background — his father was an Army officer and his mother was from the Cadbury confectionary dynasty. Brett would go on to attend Eton, where he was a member of the choir and excelled at singing.</p><p>This singing would prove to be helpful as he took on one of his most significant and memorable film roles: Freddy Eynsford-Hill in <i>My Fair Lady</i> (1964). In it, he was reunited with Audrey Hepburn, who also starred in Brett's first film, <i>War and Peace</i> (1956). And although his singing was overdubbed, his presence in the movie was a delight.</p><p>The stage and television took much of Brett's attention, and without reviewing his entire <i>curriculum vitae</i>, we'll advance to the early 1980s, when Michael Cox approached him about portraying Sherlock Holmes for Granada Television. </p><p>From 1984 to 1994, Brett portrayed Sherlock Holmes in 41 productions for television, giving a believable, if sometimes manic portrayal of the detective that lifted Sherlock Holmes from previously could be described as two-dimensional performances in other productions.</p><p>Sadly, Jeremy Brett passed away from heart failure on September 12, 1995 aged 61.</p><p>It's difficult to imagine Jeremy Brett as a nonagenarian — although some of the clever disguises he donned as Sherlock Holmes give us an idea...</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiQEmZDUrrLd5rZbSMVmc-L2vW0K-3TosQ2MWt3kZNM4kbyW7GBZEutfR4zHLaodPkag84eH4LstjuTK2lkCHfv75ws29gNkfC5CR3e2u6OYjtKQHEkMo-ooWsc4tsOfcfkkFSNhyphenhyphenlGY0svyOe0-Gi_FzO-8NlvBjIojxR4uIZFBy9ZP11CCsqbmjwIaev7/s1447/Screenshot%202023-11-02%20094339.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1080" data-original-width="1447" height="149" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiQEmZDUrrLd5rZbSMVmc-L2vW0K-3TosQ2MWt3kZNM4kbyW7GBZEutfR4zHLaodPkag84eH4LstjuTK2lkCHfv75ws29gNkfC5CR3e2u6OYjtKQHEkMo-ooWsc4tsOfcfkkFSNhyphenhyphenlGY0svyOe0-Gi_FzO-8NlvBjIojxR4uIZFBy9ZP11CCsqbmjwIaev7/w200-h149/Screenshot%202023-11-02%20094339.png" width="200" /></a> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiF6mvSo6f1RMjNLaDjbDlV9jUTh_m-V8pX0p7hXZ8kMJtkKg1tkZHLiZDwe93i5j7YXeFtIolAo_w7Zplx2swrRPIT70RkzXT99XLNYS1jlCt5w7fADDaxlFrbOg2rx44TLx1ySAsgyZhTAWD4uheFuOUkQHro4xx2JsyDEDuW31AvXr0boNINjXBXBt6m/s1425/Screenshot%202023-11-02%20094526.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1074" data-original-width="1425" height="151" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiF6mvSo6f1RMjNLaDjbDlV9jUTh_m-V8pX0p7hXZ8kMJtkKg1tkZHLiZDwe93i5j7YXeFtIolAo_w7Zplx2swrRPIT70RkzXT99XLNYS1jlCt5w7fADDaxlFrbOg2rx44TLx1ySAsgyZhTAWD4uheFuOUkQHro4xx2JsyDEDuW31AvXr0boNINjXBXBt6m/w200-h151/Screenshot%202023-11-02%20094526.png" width="200" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjqhyphenhyphenLHwUrsMN5ZDAwk5dZX3zwMVdfmaFpNQyisxr7NCrY_f0qkSBQ0tK44m8QHNGpz-z2PtQ0HO-MtCkcUKIVEEVIEZ4fygLQpyotXghB02tHr8ggSXjnetCesKo7qhS-v_uQOIE1ZmtbxQ5G_Taye0xTnhCKQiFDXtHsfxugkFIYLAKJI-PbCtiEfGfK4/s1433/Screenshot%202023-11-02%20094724.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1075" data-original-width="1433" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjqhyphenhyphenLHwUrsMN5ZDAwk5dZX3zwMVdfmaFpNQyisxr7NCrY_f0qkSBQ0tK44m8QHNGpz-z2PtQ0HO-MtCkcUKIVEEVIEZ4fygLQpyotXghB02tHr8ggSXjnetCesKo7qhS-v_uQOIE1ZmtbxQ5G_Taye0xTnhCKQiFDXtHsfxugkFIYLAKJI-PbCtiEfGfK4/s320/Screenshot%202023-11-02%20094724.png" width="320" /></a></div><p><br /></p><p>Like Sherlock Holmes, Brett will remain ever-ingrained in our minds as he looked during that glorious decade of the Granada series.
