Very sad to see the passing of that terrific actor Ian Gelder confirmed.
Great in so much but I’ll always love his Mr Dekker in Torchwood: Children of Earth. An enigmatic character who came out of nowhere and quietly unsettled the whole thing with a disquieting, subtle menace. pic.twitter.com/PAIXVryFfs— Toby Hadoke (@TobyHadoke) May 7, 2024
Very sad news. Lost count of the number of times I’ve seen Ian Gelder being quietly brilliant. RIP. https://t.co/0Oq9Sqyk6f
