British actor Bernard Hill, best known for supporting roles in Titanic and The Lord of the Rings trilogy, has died, his family announced on Sunday. “It is with the greatest sadness that we must announce that Bernard Hill, renowned actor known for his roles in Titanic and Lord of the Rings, passed away in the early hours of this morning at the age of 79,” his family said in a statement. “He was with his fiancée Alison and his son Gabriel.
In James Cameron’s 1997 multi-Oscar winning Titanic, Hill plays the ship’s Captain Edward Smith as a man haunted by his role in the tragedy and ultimately resigned to his fate. We last see him alone, still clutching the ship’s helm, before the rising water bursts in through the windows.
