My Take

Roger Lloyd-Pack is my favorite kind of actor: the supporting player who quietly becomes indispensable. Trigger in Only Fools and Horses could have been a one-joke character; instead, across two decades, Lloyd-Pack turned blank-faced slowness into a kind of accidental Zen poetry. Then he did it again as Owen Newitt in The Vicar of Dibley, proving the first time was no fluke. What I admire is the stage-trained precision underneath the dimness — playing stupid brilliantly is one of acting's hardest tricks. His death in 2014 closed a chapter of British comedy that I don't think has been rewritten since.
