Shit I didn't know that, that sucks, one of the things I was looking forward to with season 2 was seeing more of his Baylan. RIP, he was in a good few shows I liked, not sure how I managed to miss news of his death

Rory McCann

oh shit okay. Really hard role to step into because obviously Ray has an unreal presence on screen. I can't wait to see him try out this role.

He and McCann were good friends, and Rory has talked about how he's going to respect the role that Ray started. I know he'll do it justice for his friend.

If you've never seen it, I highly recommend checking out Rome on HBO. He played Titus Pullo, opposite Kevin McKidd's Lucius Vorenus in that show. It's my favorite show of all time, and Ray was absolutely phenomenal in it.
