Article with YT in social media component-Actor Bernard Hill, of Titanic and Lord Of The Rings, has died at 79
In Titanic, Hill played Captain Edward Smith, one of the only characters based on a real person, and in the Lord Of The Rings franchise, he was Théoden, King of Rohan.
Hill first made a name for himself as Yosser Hughes in Boys From The Blackstuff, a 1982 British TV miniseries about five unemployed men.
He was nominated for an award in 1983 from the British Academy of Film and Television Arts for the role, and the show won the BAFTA for best drama series.
His death came the same day the second series of the BBC drama The Responder was to air, in which he played the father of the show's star, Martin Freeman.

"President Biden is bringing the American people together around our shared democratic values and the rule of law - an approach that has delivered the biggest violent crime reduction in 50 years," said Bates.
“Bernard Hill blazed a trail across the screen, and his long-lasting career filled with iconic and remarkable roles is a testament to his incredible talent, said Lindsay Salt, director of BBC Drama. “Our thoughts are with his loved ones at this sad time.”
WASHINGTON: Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump accused Democratic rival President Joe Biden of running a "Gestapo administration" in a private address to donors in which he also attacked prosecutors involved in his criminal indictments, according to a recording heard by US media outlets.

The comments came after Trump reprised his complaint that the multiple indictments against him were politically motivated. He had just concluded 11 days of a New York hush money trial in which he is charged with falsifying business records to cover up a US$130,000 payment made to a porn star.
"These people are running a Gestapo administration," Trump said, according to an audio recording heard by the New York Times and the Washington Post.
"And it's the only thing they have. And it's the only way they're going to win, in their opinion, and it's actually killing them. But it doesn't bother me."
The Trump campaign did not respond to a request for comment on the reported remarks.
In a statement, White House spokesman Andrew Bates sought to contrast Biden's conduct in office with Trump's latest remark, accusing the former president of echoing fascist rhetoric, "lunching with neo-Nazis and fanning debunked conspiracy theories that have cost brave police officers their lives".
