[@hanstonk]

He was a brilliant actor. Full of class and proper grammar

[@ManCave1972]

Woodward was a class act. No reboot will ever come close to what he did in this series- he managed to portray an older professional trying to do good and also a man who had to control rage and violence. Those are hard things to fold into one character, and he carried it across every episode. A commanding performance.
