My Take
Richard Johnson is the kind of actor I file under quietly indispensable rather than famous. The phrase Michael Coveney used, a very still actor, authoritative and compelling, tells me everything about why he lasted from the 1960s into the 2010s without ever chasing the spotlight. English to the core despite the odd American tagline floating around, he played urbane, composed men and made stillness look like strength. What strikes me is the range hiding under that calm: actor, writer, producer, even lighting designer. That breadth suggests someone who understood the whole machinery of a production, not just his mark on the stage.
