Today brought some sad news as two-time Academy Award nominee Tom Wilkinson has passed away at the age of 75. Nominated for Oscars for his work in both In the Bedroom and Michael Clayton. Also highly regarded for work as diverse as Batman Begins, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, and The Full Monty, he certainly will be missed.
As a small way to honor the man, I thought we could dedicate the Awards Radar Community Question to him. Feel free to share your favorite performances from Wilkinson, or any memories about his acting that you’d like to put forward. I’ll share my top ten turns from the man below:

Strong selections!
There is no bad performance so it’s challenging. He had more range than I expected until I went through his work.
Oh, for sure. You always knew when he was cast that he was going to do something really nice with the role, no matter what the film was and no matter who he was portraying.
