Actor Ian Holm, who has played everything from androids to hobbits to King Lear, has died at the age of 88. Holm was a leading figure at the Royal Shakespeare Company, winning an Evening Standard best actor award for Henry V in 1965, before gravitating to screen roles. In 1969 he won a Bafta for his role in The Bofors Gun and earned an Oscar nomination for his part in the 1981 film Chariots of Fire. Holm also found a new generation of admirers after being cast as Bilbo Baggins in the blockbusting Lord of the Rings trilogy. Here's a look back at some of his most memorable on-screen roles
