Full Monty, Michael Clayton Actor Was 75 – The Hollywood Reporter
Actor Tom Wilkinson, known for his BAFTA-winning role in The Full Monty and Oscar-nominated turns in Michael Clayton and In the Bedroom, has died at the age of 75.
Wilkinson died “suddenly” at home on Saturday, according to statement from the actor’s family, who were with him when he died as was his wife.
“The family asks for privacy at this time,” the statement continued.
Wilkinson was nominated for six BAFTA awards over the course of his career, winning best performance by an actor in a supporting role in 1998 for The Full Monty. His other nods included recognition for Michael Clayton, In the Bedroom and Shakespeare in Love.
Wilkinson won an Emmy and a Golden Globe for his role as Benjamin Franklin in HBO’s 2008 John Adams miniseries, starring Paul Giamatti as the titular second president of the United States. At both awards shows, he was also nominated for his role as James Baker in another HBO project, the Jay Roach-directed film Recount, about the contentious weeks after the 2000 presidential election between George W. Bush and Al Gore and the Florida recount.
Nominated for nine Screen Actors Guild Awards, Wilkinson won twice, both as part of the casts of Shakespeare in Love and The Full Monty.
He reprised his Full Monty role of Gerald in the 2023 FX TV series of the same name.
His other film credits include The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel, The Debt, Batman Begins, The Grand Budapest Hotel, Belle, Selma, Sense and Sensibility, RocknRolla, Rush Hour, The Patriot, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, Black Knight, Valkyrie, The Lone Ranger, Denial and Snowden.
On the small screen, he also appeared in The Kennedys, The Gathering Storm and David Copperfield.
More to come.
