My Take
Ewen MacIntosh is a reminder of how much a great supporting actor can do with almost nothing. The Welsh performer, Edinburgh-educated, became quietly iconic as the perpetually deadpan Keith Bishop in the original UK Office. He barely spoke, yet his blank, unbothered presence generated some of the show's funniest moments, which is a rarer gift than scenery-chewing leads ever admit. His death in 2024 at just fifty felt genuinely sad to me. I hold a deep fondness for character actors like him, the ones audiences never forget even when they can't recall the name. Comedy royalty, understated to the end.
