To date, he is also the only actor to portray my 'other' fave literary character on the big screen, George MacDonald Fraser's Harry Flashman, in the rather unfortunately flat Royal Flash (1975). A charming man and talented actor who is a pleasure to watch in most anything.
Happy 83rd birthday to actor Malcolm McDowell who was born #OTD June 13, 1943. Never a screen Sherlock Holmes, but sporting a deerstalker as H.G. Wells in Time After Time (1979) is close enough for me. He did, however, give voice to Moriarty in Tom and Jerry Meet Sherlock Holmes (2010).
Born #OTD in 1892 - Philip St. John Basil Rathbone (13 June 1892 - 21 July 1967). Through 14 films and countless hours of radio, his cinematic portrayal of Sherlock Holmes stands as the most iconic and influential media representation of the character in the latter half of the 20th century.
I just backed SIR SHERLOCK - The Sickle and the Sea on @kickstarter.com www.kickstarter.com/projects/152...
In today is the first Sir Sherlock book & CD combo - The Red Letter Day - with Tom Baker as Holmes and John Leeson as Watson, with Nicholas Rowe aboard as well. Script is by Gary Hopkins and the quaint little hardcover comes in at a tight 82 pages with a few illustrations by Andy Hosegood.
Pleased to see these great titles all won in their respective categories at last night's HWA 2025 Bram Stoker Awards ceremony - Novel, Long Fiction, Collection and Graphic Novel. Also, a Lifetime Achievement for Christopher Golden. Congrats to all the winners and nominees.

Alberta’s grievances with Ottawa are mostly manufactured, always exaggerated and, often, completely illusory.
Now it's time for the people who spent the last decade amplifying and weaponizing them to put out the fire they helped create. #cdnpoli #abpoli

I burst out laughing when I read who the advisory panel members are. To call this panel independent is peak gaslighting.
