Dennis Waterman RIP... 21:28 - May 8 with 1167 views | 1885_SFC | died today aged 74. I grew up watching and loving The Sweeney. Minder wasn't bad - but I'll always remember him for his part alongside John Thaw as part of the flying squad. It was a good, gritty drama back in the day. Thanks for the memories Dennis. |  |

Agreed that was a stain on his career, as an actor he was typecase as the cockney hardman, but he has been a child actor and also played in Royal Shakespeare Company productions and other stage productions throughout his career as well as other film and seried on tv. He will always be remembered for the two roles in the Sweeney & Minder. |  |

And yet was on good terms with his ex wives? No excuse for abusing a woman however. None. |  |

Apparently it was just once and he was deeply ashamed. Not great but he wasn’t a serial abuser. I guess none of us are perfect. |  | |  |

Quite a lot of famous actors seem to have this wild streak in them, Oliver Reed, Richard Burton, Sean Penn, Johnny Depp to name just a few from over the decades |  |

They were grouped together under the name “Hellraisers.” I’m not sure that Waterman was in that category. Drugs rather than booze seems to be the thing among the acting fraternity nowadays. Perhaps that is why there is less violence? |  | |  |

Reed & Burton were a different generation to Waterman, Depp though used drugs heavily and has been quite violent over his entire career, however alcohol has also been involved |  |

He was a golfing buddy of a friend of mine and apparently a really nice bloke. Also owned the local pub to the golf course for a few years in the 2010s. He move to Spain 2 or 3 years ago as he couldn't cope with UK Winters anymore. |  |

Been watching some of the Depp/Heard trial. She looks like she gives as good as she gets. Sounds like they both dished it out and it was a mutually toxic relationship. Some people just shouldn’t be together. |  | |  |
