His family members broke the information to the BBC Saturday, with a press release from the household studying, “It’s with nice unhappiness that the household of Tom Wilkinson announce that he died out of the blue at dwelling on December 30. His spouse and household had been with him.”

Wilkinson will doubtless greatest be remembered for his position as Gerald in “The Full Monty” — a preferred ’90s comedy a couple of bunch of middle-aged males beginning an all-male strip joint. Reality is, although … he’d been in loads of different movies over time that had been equally as nice.
He performed Arthur Edens reverse George Clooney in “Michael Clayton,” in addition to Matt Fowler in 2001’s “Within the Bed room” … plus, the creator in Wes Anderson‘s “The Grand Budapest Lodge.”
