Scottish Game of Thrones actor John Stahl has died aged 68.
The actor, best known for his role as Rickard Karstark in seasons two and three of the HBO fantasy drama series, has reportedly passed away.
John, from Sauchie, Clackmannanshire, was a well known friendly face on the TV after finding fame as Tom 'Inverdarroch' Kerr in the television series High Road.
His other roles include Inspector Reed in the 1995 television series Resort to Murder, and as Ewan in the 2011 Royal National Theatre production Frankenstein and 2018's Mary Queen of Scots.
Tributes have poured in from colleagues and fans who knew John.
Colleague Alan Bissett paid tribute to John on social media writing: "Sad to hear this morning of the death of actor, John Stahl. Worked with him on a couple of projects and he was lovely company and a very committed actor. Heart goes out to his wife and family."
Brido Hingwy penned a touching tribute: "Bidding farewell to a kind man, teller of a mean anecdote and a terrific actor. John Stahl left us the other day and I was honoured to call him a friend and colleague. A bold and unapologetic actor with a CV as long as your arm, his huge presence and colossal talent won’t soon be forgotten"
Fellow High Road co-star Derek Lord wrote: "Sorry to hear my old High Road colleague John Stahl has passed. I remember him being upset when some idiot in production decided to drop his character's name Inverdarroch and use Tom Kerr instead. He'll always be Inverdarroch to me, the only man to best Sneddon in a fair fight."
One fan tweeted: "It's so sad to hear this news, another great actor from my favourite soap to have passed away. There have been a few this year sadly. He will be sadly missed."
"RIP Inverdarroch :(," said another.
