David Warner, a versatile actor whose career spanned six decades with roles on stage, television and film, has died aged 80.

The 1970s often saw him cast as the villain with roles in Straw Dogs (1971), The Omen (1976) and Time After Time (1979).

Warner played malicious valet Spicer Lovejoy in Titanic (1998).
One of his final film roles was as retired naval officer Admiral Boom in “Mary Poppins Returns,” released in 2018.

He later won an Emmy for his role as Roman politician Pomponius Falco in the 1981 TV miniseries “Masada. ”Warner’s family said he died from a cancer-related illness on Sunday at Denville Hall, a retirement home for entertainers in London.
