RIP Albert Finney

[indiucky]

We lost a good one...Godspeed Sir Albert..You may have turned it down but you will always be a Sir to me....

A life-long fan of Manchester United, he declined a CBE in 1980 and a knighthood in 2000.
"I think the Sir thing slightly perpetuates one of our diseases in England, which is snobbery," he said at the time.
He was also reluctant to discuss his craft. "My job is acting, and that is why I hate interviews or lectures, explaining myself to an audience," he once said.

This was sad to hear. The older he got the more he reminded me of my dad. I loved him in Big Fish, kind of a hard movie for me to get through.
