Some of you may remember him from Alfred Hitchcock's "Frenzy". He was the detective. "Mr. Rusk, you're not wearing your tie."

I liked NSNA's take on the Quartermaster. Alec delivered one of my favourite Q pieces of dialogue as well: "Now you're on this, I hope we're going to have some gratuitous sex and violence."

RIP.
