Just thought you Prisoners should know that Australian actor Bill Hunter, who played George Lucas in 1979 season of Prisoner, died today.

I saw him recently in the mini series version of Moby Dick, where he played Captain Boomer. Very sad news.

He was in stacks of Ozploitation films too - he'd been ill for a while.

RIP.

It wasn't a recent version. It was the Patrick Stewart version. Just watched it recently.

Bill was a great actor and I'm sure his work will live on forever.

RIP Bill.
